Friday Eve Dyeing

After a very confusing Thursday afternoon, I finally settled down to dye some top.  First time I have ever dyed in the evening, and I will definitely do it again soon.  Thought I needed some for spinning in Old Town on Saturday.  So I divided up two 4oz. skeins of the top.  Always try to make a lot when I dye, in case I end up really liking it...  For the first batch I dyed the gold, nugget gold, and hunter green.  Then at the very end I added a dash of peacock- I couldn't help myself.  So much for sticking to just two colours!  Then for the second batch, I fell into the wrath of the blues.  Mixed copenhagen blue with the rest of the peacock and used a whole jar of royal blue.
 
The royal blue is now my new favorite color.  I will spin that one up first, and will try for a bulkier yarn.
