I had a fun day dyeing some silk noil for my next project. I didn't calculate or measure the colors, just mixed the colors without a lot of planning. I did have a concept in mind, however: to have my dark, cool colors be more or less the color complement of my light, warm colors. I am doing a "painted warp" to try combining plain weave and sprang in a finished piece. I plan to alternate the dark and light colors in the weave to get a pattern effect in interlaced sprang. Yes, I'm finally getting back to the sprang experiments. Read about the sampling for this project here.
Here are the light colors right after "painting", and before steaming.
