 I spend the day with my best friend and her baby at the park. I feel so relaxed (I have yet to hear this baby cry lol). I managed to snap a couple of pictures of the silk I dyed yesterday.



I have expensive taste so it comes as no suprise that I loved dyeing this! I love the smell, the rich touch, the subtle sheen. Am I the only one who wants to eat it?



It is 100% tussah silk. It is damn hungry for dye and it takes a lot more dyestock than wool to obtain the same shade. It is lace, about 850m for 100g. The skein was tied a bit small and it looked a bit frumpy after dyeing, but it is relaxed and beautiful now that it is dry.
