Obsession

Not a blog post about perfume, but rather about my latest obsession with dyeing fibre.

I’ve tried dying fibre in the past, with limited success. This time I think I’ve cracked it.

This was my test braid. I didn’t want to commit to dyeing too much in case I fulled the fibre again, and I played it safe with colours I knew worked well together. I used a lot less water this time around, resisted poking the fibre around too much, and it worked out brilliantly.

But I always seem to gravitate towards this sort of colour palette so I wanted to step outside my comfort zone a little and in the end I came up with this:

This is totally not something that I would normally go for, but my god I love it. It’s fresh, and vibrant, and feminine, and it just screams sunshine and flowers.

Just looking at it makes me long for summer, and I’m not even fed up of hunkering down for winter yet!
