I will definitely share the results soon! The yarn, post dip, is soaking in water now.
A stainless steel bowl holds green liquid and wool yarn, the result of blending up indigo leaves in ice water & straining for fresh leaf dyeing.

Just starting to get goldenrod blooms here in MS. It’s been so dry here. The first ones to bloom here are in the wetter areas.

I harvested some Japanese indigo today for fresh leaf dyeing. Into the blender with cold water and a little ice for this creamy green smoothie. Strained it and dunked in some helpless yarn. 🧶 #SoylentGreen #Indigo #BotanicalDyes #FiberArt #Textiles

The results from the cochineal dye bath on non-sw merino. Round 1 gave a lovely dark pink. Round 2 gave a gorgeous light pink, almost a mauve. 🧶 #HandDyed #NaturalDye #FiberArt #Textiles
Two skeins of yarn twisted into loose piles. One is a dark pink and one is a very light pink.

Reminder that the US under both R and D administrations sent billions of dollars in weapons to Saudi Arabia, including illegal cluster munitions, to kill Yemeni kids. And the US, under both R and D administrations, is still sending billions of dollars in weapons for the UAE to do genocide in Sudan

It’s been a minute since I last shared some dye projects with y’all. I’ve been busy with traveling, harvesting indigo plants I grew this year, and making some indigo vats to dye cloth. But don’t worry - I’ll be dyeing up some new shirts this weekend!

The Grandma/Old Lady cliche is lazy writing. Knitters have always been all ages. They were only invisible because so called women’s work was overlooked.

I had a couple who requested a matching set in shades of blues. The thing about ice dyeing is no two pieces will ever be exactly alike. For these, I used the same colors and approximate pattern. #IceDyed #bsnm #TieDye #textiles
