Still dyeing.. The silk is amazing in the way it sucks up the color. It's scrunchy and it shines. I love this stuff. The only problem with it is that in almost every skein, there are knotted joins. It makes me crazy when I buy yarn, sock yarn in particular, and I find knots. I know, get over it. It's a pet peeve of mine, and this stuff has them. The Russian join works fine. The problem is solved, but it is a problem for me. If you are interested in any of this yarn, let me know. I've got more on the stove simmering in a prewash.. getting the nasties out. Here are the newest results..
Silk is very hard to photograph, too much shine.
Judy, your silk dyeing is gorgeous! I would love some of the turquoise and brown blend. When you get a chance, send me the particulars.....price, yardage etc. I LOVE it!

Yeah, it's all about the silk and nothing about how good you are. :) Those are exceptional.

I'm interested, but whether I can buy any depends on how much it is, or if you want to trade some stuff too :)
