    What gorgeous colors you produced in this roving! From the previous photo of the wool in the steamer I would not have dreamed that these glorious colors would be the result.

    I absolutely love these warm vibrant colours, but, oh I am so annoyed. I got rid of one of those steamers two years ago at a car boot!!!!!! Ouch!!!!

    Beautiful! I've never heard of those steamers before... maybe I should take up dyeing so I have a reason to purchase one! ; )

    Interesting!!! Having said that, I'm voting for the "cool" option.What a fascinating process.The inter-weaving certainly shows off those colours to their best advantage.

    This is just fantastic. The colour is gorgeous. Everytime I use food dye I get mud!

    I had thought about food colouring but resorted to acid dyes to get the depth of colour.
