9/9.2023 - loving the indigo dye pot

maintaining your hair colour is so annoying when you’ve got two colours in there bc I think in total I need maybe 2 tablespoons worth of dye to top up the silver so do I really have to buy and waste a full package of silver dye just for that

planning on dyeing a bunch of white yarn in my stash with the onion skins I saved from the local farm last year, then knitting a vest out of it...planning even further ahead to try & dye yarn with some of their beets & marigolds too later this year... I think it'd be really cute to have an ongoing 'farm vest' project >:^)

Toxic pokeweed root dye (kyll) update: I have obtained all of the necessary materials to cook some up!
A cutting board, knives, tongs, and pots that will never again touch food (a big dye pot was last on my list). I also got a portable hot plate so I don't have to worry about keeping my kitchen safe and can cook in the garage. I have the old, now-dried, pokeweed roots, and have just dug another half dozen fresh roots that I actually WASHED. (Yeah I didn't wash the others. Oops.)
I'm gonna cut up the fresh roots to boil tonight and see if I can get a dye from them! Good news or bad news, it looks like I won't ever run out of pokeweed on this property.
The roots I got today are quite young and small. I'll be curious if young roots and more mature roots are different.

My phone hates when colors are accurate to real life, sorry. But look ! Left is copper on blackberry, which is a beautiful deep maroon at the moment--still wet though-- (the rest of the willowed wool that had not yet been put on a distaff) and right is the dried wool from last night. It looks like a very pale green. I really want to see what happens when post mordanted with iron--but alas, I had to toss my homemade iron mordant in the move. So maybe I need to get some more going....
