This is NOT Kauni…. dette er IKKE Kauni…..

For a while I have been experimenting dyeing something that will give the same effect as Kauni and Evilla yarns when knitted – but made in a soft, lovely wool!

I still need to fine tune the technique, but here is first attempt:

En tid har jeg eksperimenteret med at farve noget der vil give samme effekt som kauni og evilla garn når det strikkes – men lavet i dejlig blød uld!

Teknikken skal stadig finpudses, men her er første forsøg:

Her ser man det farvede strik før det trævles op og gen-fixeres

I also made a piece like the one on the right, for sampling:

Jeg lavede også et stykke magen til den til højre, til at lave prøver af:

    

Her har jeg strikket et stykke sammen med en ensfarvet gråblå, for at man kan se effekten

The technique I am using is no secret – it is simply knitting a blank using the knitting machine, painting and steaming it, unravel and re-steam to straighten the curls.

Teknikken jeg bruger er ingen hemmelighed – det er at strikke et stykke på maskinen, farve og fixere det, trævle op, bundte og dampe igen for at få krøllerne ud.

Next lot ready to be dyed is made of silky-wool – to be continued….

Næste portion der ligger klar er strikket i silke-uld…. fortsættelse følger!

Recently we had a couple of deaf friend visiting us – Bente T and Preben (and doggie Viggo, whos is a kind of son-in-law, he just doesn’t know it yet).

We discovered that Bente has a “thing” with frogs, just like Stu – and shortly after she sent him this lovely beltbag, that I dyed green. He is very happy about it!

A couple of days ago I decided to clear up my leftovers of dye solution, and did 100 g of angora. It came out very brilliant, reminds me of the colours of all the spring flowers!
Anybody like it? I can’t have these colours myself….
