Hand-Dyed 64Ct Merino Wool Dreads

https://www.etsy.com/shop/NUCL3ARBUTT3RFLY

This is a set of 24 DE (double ended, so, when folded in half, there are 48 ends) custom hand-dyed wool dreads.
-Made from super soft 64ct Merino

-They vary in length from roughly 12"-18" when folded over.

I dyed these with non-toxic acid dyes, which are made from food-safe dye and vinegar. 

The color is a subtle range of darker maroon/wine/eggplant/violet with medium muted tones of blue/violet/burgundy and highlights of pastel aqua/lavender/blue/orchid. *Please allow for slight differences in color due to lighting/camera

These dreadlocks are brand new, never worn, pre-washed, and ready to be installed or turned into falls. Like all my dreads, they have been stored with natural lavender. 

Wool dreadlocks can be washed. I recommend hand-washing in cool water with mild soap and hanging to dry. However, if you decide to machine wash these, the best method is "delicate" (cool) water for washing, and the lowest possible heat setting. (For machine washing/drying, use a garment bag or pillow case.) Although the dye has been heat set, and the dreads have been pre-washed, exercise caution if washing with other items.

Short 15" SE Crochet Dreads... Purple/Turquoise/Black/Aqua

I just completed this lovely set of twelve 15" Crochet Dreads. There are eight that are a darker Purple/Black with Aqua/Turquoise and four that are a brighter, mostly Turquoise and Aqua.

Bubblegum Pink and Blonde Clip in Accents

I decided to have some fun with dying hair. I ordered some inexpensive pre-sewn 12" blonde clip-ins off of ebay, and highlighted them with Bubblegum Pink N Rage. I love how they turned out, although I suspect that the weft they were made from was NOT all human hair, but has a good amount of synthetic mixed in. Regardless, they're pretty and hold up to heat applications without melting. I used both my flat iron and curling iron on these -on the highest temperature settings, and had no problems.

These are still available! https://www.etsy.com/shop/NUCL3ARBUTT3RFLY

Better Pictures of My Multi-Colored Crochet Dreads

I took some better detailed photographs of these long (about 22-26") crochet dreads
(These pictures were taken under bright sunlight. The last photos were taken on a cloudy day.)

Dying Merino Wool Roving

I'm dying some merino wool roving. It was light creamy white to begin with. I'm using an acid dye soaking technique. It sounds more toxic than what it actually is... The acid is just plain white vinegar, and the dye is food coloring mixed with water.

The finished set is available here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/NUCL3ARBUTT3RFLY

Turquoise Blue/Green Mix

Lime Green / Neon Yellow Mix

Rinsed and almost completely dry
Soon I'll be making this into some lovely dreads

Custom Colors and DIY Marley Braid (aka:material used to make Krinklepuffs)

I've been busy busy busy, shuffling my latest color blends...

Still working on getting the texture “just right” for my handmade custom blended marley braid…Marley Braid is a pre-made textured style of kanekalon synthetic hair, which is often used to make super fluffy lightweight falls - called Krinklepuffs or Krinkle Falls. Marley Braid is available in a somewhat limited variety of colors and most are solid. I prefer blended colors (above is a blend of neon pink and neon purple), so I’m mimicking the texture on my own custom color blends.

Here are some of the dreads that I made this week:

From top to bottom
