Kinky rayon

 

Ah, that weird rayon thread.

I wish I'd given it the attention that I gave the cotton when it comes to the range of colors. Each change was an afterthought.

My attempt at black and white didn't work out as planned because the thread had an affinity for Dragonblood. I don't want to call it contamination. It blushedđź’—.

When wet with soda ash solution the skeins are as slimy as pieces of raw chicken in olive oil. With gloves, it felt like they were trying to escape.

Washout was a little better this time because I double-tied each skein.

And the way a double strand works up into a nice bold line has grown on me. I'll be keeping a few for myself. 

Let me know if you would like to try it.
