Pictures of 1000 dye samples are now online!

A quick note to let y’all know: I’ve posted 1000 of my 1500 dye samples on my website, along with an extensive write-up about my dye process. The other 500 samples are still being photographed, but they should be up later this week.

Here’s the link to the master page:

Dye Sample Project

Please spread the word! It was a LOT of work photographing everything, color-correcting the images, and writing/posting the documentation for the samples. I did it because I thought others might find them useful – so please let others know they’re there!

    Did you know that Deb Menz sells dye sample books? They’re for lanaset dyes on wool. The book is not cheap, and she has two volumes. I just bought one and will buy the second one when she has it ready. Very worth the price, imo. Just a thought, should you ever consider selling sample sets.

      I do! Honestly, though, it’s still not worth the immense labor of dyeing and putting together the sample books. I can’t imagine doing it!
