Dye dye dye!

I got the call - the new W&D will be delivered tomorrow morning! Hooray! JIT to do two weeks worth of laundry. My weekend'll be barrels full of monkey fun.

Anyhoo, that means tonight is dye-dye-dye night, while I still have the old washer.

I did a load of Procyon Golden Yellow last night on some light pink silk Cin provided. The color is excellent - probably close to her wedding color - not too lemony. The fabric was definitely old & delicate - some tore. But considering it's old curtains, not too bad. I have it chilling in the downstairs fridge until we get the new dryer.

I washed up the silk herringbone I bought Wednesday. It is super soft now. I may cut it into two pieces because I can't decide what color to dye it. I have a blue load that I know I'm going to run, and I'm tempted by the chocolate brown and the bright red.

Also on the fun-list,

morivenis making a new shield, so we're making new camping boxes out of the excess wood. Cool stuff and I get to keep an eye on the washer while I'm at it!

Dye! Dye! Dye!
