Missions Accomplished

Yesterday I completed the two tasks I'd set for myself ~ got those wild onion stems and flowering weeds mowed as well as dyeing two pots of wool.  Seems my light blue wool was depleted and I'll need it for a rug  with Kris Miller in September.

 Was in such a hurry to pull wool and get it in soak that no 'before' picture was taken.  I grabbed pieces of natural, white off the bolt, wheat and recycled white clothing pieces.  Amazing how some wool grabbed more color than others.  

 Already had a jar of Prochem blue dye mixed so used 1 tablespoon in each pot with +/- a yard of wool.   Bottom row in the middle is the wheat colored jacket pieces , no surprise there.  But was very surprised how two pieces to the far right ended up having more of a periwinkle color.  
Since I do primitive rugs all of these will serve me well in some rug.  At least now I've a variety of blue shades for my stash and even have more solution left if I need more.

 Oh, and I did get a few loops pulled on the Early Farm Scene.  Maybe tomorrow there will be an update.  Happy Hooking.

    Looks like that will make for some beautiful skies! No flowering weeds or wild onions growing here,....8-10” of snow...mixed with ice off and on...and it’s still coming.... Somedays I hate living here...today’s one of those days. ~Robin~
