The best way to bring in the new year.

Go to a friend's place.
Let loose three kid with a computer and a walkie-talkie
Drink champagne.

 And dye wool.

We got toogether with the intention of giving th ekids a bit of company and spin toogether into the new year. The kids had a great time, and we did spin (at least I did), and run my purple wool through the drumcarder with withe angora with a great succes.

Then just before midnight we had the idea to start dyeing... Zsu gave me a bunch of wool to play with (how is that even against my best intention I went home with more wool than started out with?)... She had some particular colorshceme in her mind and I am always sucker for rainbow colors. Here how hers looked in the "pot"...Yummie, eh?

Wool, dye, champagne, coke, chips... the greatest accesorries to have great time.

She used white alpacca, I used oatmeal colored merino, which gave the the rainbow colors a broken dusty note.

 Hers after rinsing:

 Mine after drying overnight. Looks totally pro, isn't it?

We had great time, more fun than in longest... Thank you Zsu, I can wait until we can do it again!
