I know I’m a bit late posting this week. I have big news. The Hubs is home for good!!!!!! He came in about 5 am Friday morning. I am so thankful to have him here. The kids were suprised because we didn’t tell them he was coming in early(I told them Sept 10th).  It has been an exhausting 2 days, unpacking and doing my regular stuff.

Anyway I usually tell you how to properly prepare and dye wool. However I goofed and I will share my mistake, to show you what not to do. I got my dye pot half-full of water and vinegar. I put my punta fiber in dry.

Then I added 3 colors of dye.

The colors were pretty intense as a powder. I put the fiber on low, popped a lid on it and went out to the barn thinking to groom a couple rabbits.

When I came in the fiber was boiling!!!!!!  And the colors had blended. I ended up with felted in places fiber that was all one color. Honestly I love the eggplant color( and now I know how to get that color), but it wasn’t exactly what I was looking for.

 

 

 I may need to give this to a felter and see what they can do with it.
