Jaquard & Yarns Of Italy brown final results.

I was so excited to get to the final results I woke up early just to check on it and here it is! I LOVE this color.

Yarns of Italy and Jacquard Dyes

This time I wanted to do a brown.  But I was unsure how it would be so I decided to make a small dyebath.  I tried my new yarn from Yarns of Italy 

This is there 100% Merino wool DK yum! super soft and definitely meets my high expectations.

 As always I have to soak it in a acid water solution.

While that soaks I make the bath and add the dye.  I added 1/8 teaspoon of Jacquard dyes because I like my dyes to be slightly under-saturated and uneven.

Oh that looks like... smoke, but its not just part of the process.  I think I can see some nicely uneven brown in there!

OHHHH!!! that looks good!!

Oh thats stunning! WOW!! I love it! I love it so much I might l just start selling this dyed and not work it into ties.  I dont know I feel like the market for dyed yarns is so packed.

Anyway this is the last image of it till it dries,  I love the lights and darks.  The yarn is in the bath room drying and once it is dry i will update you.

My Love of camel hair yarn!

Camel Hair Scarf from Kouture Crochet

Camel hair year is one of the most amazing fibers.

The price is slightly less than cashmere.

It is stronger than cashmere, wool or even alpaca.

Warmer than cashmere.

Camel hair has great longevity with some camel hair rugs being hundreds of years old.

Camel is lighter than wool.

Camel hair as soft as medium to high quality merino wool.

Usually sold undyed or in neutral shades.

Camel hair yarn has some thing few other fibers have it is thermostatic. This means that it retains heat in cold weather, and helps you keep cool in warm weather preventing you from over heating. This makes camel hair fiber ideal for coats, scarves, ties and sports coats.

The end result is a versitile, warm luxury fiber that stands out in a crowd.

50% Camel Hair/50% Alpaca

I use it for scarves and ties. My favorite camel product is the Camel/Alpaca Scarf. It has all the qualities of camel but with alpaca for softness.

At some point soon to dye a skein of camel!

Until next time!
