Dye projects part 2

Last night sitting on top the stove was the last of the fiber dying projects from the weekend. It was toughest one to do, I didn't know how it was going to turn out and I really didn't know how to dye a synthetic fiber. As I peeled back the foil and dumped the remaining water off, this is what I saw.
James named it "Tang" which was appropriate since it smell like the orange kool-aid that I used. With the sheen quality of the fiber it has more of a copper look to it to me. Was this the color I was attempting to do, uh....sure...I totally knew what I was doing.

    That's a beautiful color, Jennifer! I am so jealous of your non-felting fiber dyeing. How is it that you're so much better at this than I am and you're just getting started?

    I learned it from you! You're the master. Besides, I've had some happy accidents in the dying process but all I want to do now is dye more. Dying fiber is becoming just as addictive as knitting and spinning.
