What a lovely wheel of colour! 

This came about as the result of a Study Group of spinners made up of Laura Arena, Tammy Mitchell, Martha Oppenheimer, Joan Blanchard, Marilyn Amick and Elizabeth Ribble.  What you are seeing here is preliminary to these fibers being spun into yarn

Each member of the group had a colour to dye.  Red, blue and yellow were used.  Jacquard dyes were used throughout the different dyepots.  The wool was purchased at Convergence from Jane's Fiber and Beads.

Tammy and Joan dyed the red, Laura and Martha had the blue and Marilyn and Elizabeth had the yellow. 

Fiber drying on the line! 

After all three colors were dyed and dryed, the fiber was hand carded and blended to make the colour wheel.

This fiber will be hand carded and spun into yarn as the final project.
