yesterday, i decided it was a good
dyeing day..
i used a couple recipes from
Beautiful Wool - A Hand-Dyers Guide
by Laurice Heath
the Primitive Green was the first
and i love how it turned out..
i didn't stir much as i wanted some modeling.
then i did a Old Christmas Red
altho i neglected to read to dye over a red..
so i have Old Christmas Brown!
I am happy with these too!
may go back and make more sometime
as i think a couple would be good for backgrounds

Dyeing day for me!

* we have been having so much rain, its been awful!
today its sunny and 46 above.

Your greens and reds are perfect! That Christmas brown will come in handy, too...lol!
ReplyDeleteHopefully your weather will improve. 46* is much too chilly for the end of May, no matter where you live ;-)
yikes we have had weird cold weather too. first it is 90 and then it is 40. I love your dying I want to get into the dye pot may not happen for a while I have so much gardening to do
ReplyDeletelove your rug

I love your beautiful results with the dyeing. It's so satisfying when it turns out the way we want. I need to dye but it will have to wait as I'm busy working in the yard and gardens. Just too much to do.
ReplyDeleteThe weather has been a bit erratic here also. I had to bring all my seedlings in last night as we had frost warning.
Have a great week.
Hugs,
Julia
