Tina red wound
This is what was cooking in Big Tina the other day.
I couldn’t find a nice rich red in a yarn soft enough for my purposes, so I dyed up my own.
One hank Aslan Trends “Invernal.” 50% angora, 25% wool, 25% polyamide.
The actual hank is a little darker than it appears here, but this is close enough.
I’m really liking this “twice dyed” technique I’m working out.

    Did the halo on that come out black? It’s gorgeous!!!

    Thanks! The halo came out a very dark violet – this was mostly a rich red with a last minute addition of a concentrated bluish-gray, so the outlying bits got the most purpling. Thus, purple haze!
