Then I sandwich the tan slacks between the coral and red wool; since the slacks are a tad longer than the skirt I just folded it up.
After that I roll it like a sausage which puts the coral rolled over on the red.
Then I found an old shoestring and tied up the ends....
...and twisted the roll until it rolled over on itself like a pretzel and tied it all together.
So now into a pot of water with a little liquid detergent that has NO bleach. I will post the results later as it should take a while for the colors to bleed.
Love this post...since I live and travel full time in our RV I have just never used regular dyes.. just no space.This is one of the methods I use to dye..along with some natural stuff like onion skin etc...I love what purple skins do to wool. Can't wait to see your end product.
ReplyDeletethank you, I dyed this way a couple of weeks ago and I am glad to see it is really okay to do it like this. I am going to do more of it. I have a friend who sends me thrift shop wool all the time. I didn't know boiling wool would make it too stiff, I always wondered why not to boil. Thanks again.
