relief



that's what i feel as the season closed until next year. tree down and recycled, the last of the fruitcake gone and back to the old routines. i don't say this very often, but i missed those old routines.

the scarf went through the first dyeing, the color's less red and more indigo. nice, but boring.
the intention was a first layer in dark blue then twist and bundle for a black overdye. this afternoon will find me at the dye pot doing a first time lanaset dyeing; living dangerously here. have to get glauber salts first.
yes, girls and boys i'm not doing natural dyes this time.

  5. Always an adventure to see what you get in the dyepot!

    BTW you don't really need glaubers - regular salt works just fine with Lanaset/Telana dyes.
