Mohair and Silk Trial

I wound both of these bits, then put them together in a small bowl and dyed them with a marigold color of dye. After they had soaked up that color, I sprinkled on a plum color. As you can see, they took the dye differently. Even discounting the airiness of the mohair, if you look at the core thread, the colors aren't as intense as they are with the silk.
