Dyeing preparation


Yoosh...i had already prepared the noil for dyeing. Since i dont have any yardage'o'meter, i have to wind the skein into a cake, and then rewinding the cake into a weight divided cake  :D
Confuse ? me tooo...
just see the pics below  (they say that a pic equal to a thousand words)

Here the skein .... kinda cute isnt it???like an overwight caterpillar sleeping ... :D

Silk Noil 2/20, 100grm

Here the tools i use, balance from the kitchen + my dependable royal winder on to my working table. How do i divide the weight ??? Fibonacci rules of course!!! Why fibo ?? cause i plan to make it into a round shawl or a crescent one, then the outer rows of color must have a bigger radii, so it would need longer yarn ... :D

Since the original fibo is too small, i choose to start from the third to the ninth number,multiplied by two.

Tools : Yarn winder, balance,scrap yarns
How to do it?? put the scraps yarn,  rewind the cake to the desired weight, tie the scraps... and so on

Here the divided yarn cake
Fibonacci yarn cake 
 This is the individual cake, the smallest to the biggest is from the inside-out of the cake .
The donuts 
 Next : preparing the dyes....... and let the party begin!!!
