Color Theory Group - Dye Day
As many of you know - we have a small group in our guild who are studying color theory. This past week, we decided to get together out in Pritchard and enjoy a fabulous dye day. Here we are - hard at work adding spectacular color to our various different rovings and raw fibre. The weather remained decent and it was the perfect setting for our get together. Thanks to Jen for hosting and providing the PERFECT setting for our adventures in color!
