A 400g (14oz) batch of hand dyed Bluefaced Leicester and Tussah silk braids. These were dyed a while back and I was going to save them for scrappy batts etc, but they've been sat in a bag and taking up space. They're a bit on the scruffy side and may need a little teasing to loosen some of the fibres. I think they were dyed with my leftover acid dyes. I'm selling these at a very reduced price to help me make more space in my workshop.

Hand dyed by me using a mix of acid dyes.
Please note: I dye my fibres in my home. I check that the dye has fully exhausted before I let the fibres cool overnight. In the morning the dyed fibre is left to soak in room-temperature water and I'll check to see if any colour is running. It's unlikely that any will but occasionally some colours (turquoise!) will 'run' a little in their soak after the first wash.
Wool fibre, especially finer fibres like Merino may compact in storage and during travel and may need a little bit of teasing before spinning.
I've photographed my fibres using my phone camera, and I've done my best to capture the colours as accurately as possible. Please be aware that colours can appear differently between devices and under different lighting conditions.
