summer dyeing

was truly pleased bcse the alkanet behaved and gave me a faint lilac

 

second take, with fresh dye was not so lucky, back to beige and murky brown.

note to self: forget alkanet, life's too short.

the good news is that i found some metal rods that can be used to submerge and lift silk in the pot, ergo no more tangles. the rods in question were the supports for kitchen paper towels.

one of the things that make me the happiest is finding new uses for objects.
