I Dyed That Day (Part the I'm in Love)

Hiya from a.,

Today I have a triangle shawl to show you.  I have started to make a few more of these, mainly if I have a multi-coloured yarn, I like how this shape can show off colours.  It works for striping or just a whole mess of colours, like what I have here.  This is from a fibre that I dyed and spun.  The dye method was just my standard colour dump into my giant pot, I wasn't trying to make something too specific.  I only used strong primary colours (so yellow, red, blue), but there are places where they blended so there is also a fair bit of orange, some green, and a bit of purple.
As usual I spun a two ply and it ended up being a fairly tight ply and shifted colours around in interesting ways.  A close up shot will better show the variety that ended up in the yarn:
You can see all the different colours that this ended up creating.  I am really pleased with the results.

see you space cowboy...
