In the morning, I pulled out my dye pot and half yard of wool to soak. Sadly the choices for primitive light wool isn't available as it used to be. I purchased Steel Cut recently but it was just too grey. I put 1/4 yard natural, 1/4 yard steel cut and an odd piece in the pot with a little of two mixed dye recipes.
Here are the results and I'm quite pleased. The before of the natural and Steel cut is at the top. So just might do another pot tomorrow with more Steel Cut and Shadow Fax which has too much white in it for me also. Will use the same formula amounts.
Also, in keeping with my personal commitment, did more binding on Animal Parade today during The Five. Of course with a glass of cabernet by my side for a sip now and then to make that task a little easier to endure. There's still more to bind, so if anyone wants to join me long distance please feel free to set aside that time and hook in harmony with me.
MESSAGE TO SUSAN: This morning I received an email from "Susan N" asking about rugs from Iowa, New Jersey and Montana. Susan, I tried to reply but the email bounced. Don't know if you typed in the address incorrectly or your email provider needs to be updated. But did try.
My question was if you were inquiring about the rugs hooked by Molly Nye Toby. I've already posted photos of whatever rugs I found hooked by Molly already but you could always to do a Google search in case more show up somewhere. OR, if I see more rugs I will post them on my blog.
Think I had more to write about but have gotten far too wordy already so will sign off. Rain in the forecast tomorrow so perhaps there will be more dyeing here inside.

I don’t know what changed, but I can now comment on your blog from my iPad…but only as anonymous 😖
ReplyDeleteWonderful dye results, especially the wool on the right.
Rain is moving in here tonight. Better than snow or ice!

DeleteI think any day is a good day to dye wool. lovely colors.
ReplyDeleteYour dye colors came out so great ! Love them ! I like to call them dirty colors , makes them look nice and old .
ReplyDeleteIt is raining and so foggy here , the snow that is left , hopefully will be all gone by morning !
Binding & having a nice glass of wine makes it more pleasurable to do !!!
The wools dyed are just wonderful. Will you be using these for your next rug? Janice
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! and I’m sure you’ll get great pleasure using it up. You made me smile at your binding ritual so today I was cross stitching a little piece and sipping( a little por of burgundy) along with you. (that Jessica….oy!)
