Playing/Experimenting in the Dye Pot

Recently  I've been thinking about marrying wool, dyeing primitive black and then remembered the already mixed liquids on the shelf in the garage.  Took a look and saw a jar of "1/8 gold" with no reference as to what it was dyed for.  So assumed it was 1/8 tsp. Pro-Chem gold.

It had been there a while and had always thought about dyeing gold over grey to achieve a Chartreuse .  Wasn't sure how much grey wool or if this would even do the job.  I grabbed a piece of heather grey and a darker grey windowpane wool and think there is slightly over 1/4 yard.  On the bottom is what the original looks like and on top is the result of the dye.  

At least one jar is empty from the shelf so maybe I'll pick another color and experiment again soon...stay tuned.

See that pattern and linen below the wool?  Remember when I said I'd like to take advantage of the linen on my present project to draw my next pattern?  Well, it wouldn't be a great use of resources so decided to pull a piece of left over linen to use instead.  Nope, not gonna show you what's next because it's too soon.  Besides, you know how fickle I am and might change my mind on what to put on the frame next anyway.

Happy hooking, stay safe.
