notes on the blues

left: 3 dips, middle: 5 dips right: 7-8 dips.






the silk skeins started with a cochineal dye, then proceeded into the ai vat.the morale of the story is that if you want a very dark blue start with magenta.
i know, i know that the japanese get this color, but bear in mind that they are masters and that they use sukumo fermentation  vats. a different big league ball game.
