Dying Mohair

Ok, so I couldn't help myself! I'm supposed to be spinning like a mad woman to get ready for the Carolina Fiber Festival but the mohair I brought back from the Let's Get Naked Festival was screaming my name. I skirted, washed, and dyed up 5 lbs of it on Tuesday and sat it out to dry. God rewashed it for me with an unexpected rain shower as I was out feeding alpacas so it got to be put back outside on Wednesday for another round of drying.

I spun up a couple skeins of the dyed fiber and a couple skeins of the white (not pictured) as soon as it was dry. You know of course that I spin more of a specialty yarn than a traditional yarn so I really loved lockspinning this mohair!
