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.
