Dyeing without Dye

I recently acquired more thrift shop wool and thought that I'd like to pull out the dye pots but didn't feel like dragging out all the paraphernalia of the dye spoons, the dyes, cups, etc.  So decided that I'd like to have some suitable colors for primitive flowers and pulled out a tan slacks panel, a coral and red skirt panel.

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.
