Yesterday was a big success at the village dye pot. I was successful in creating some blue green yarn. I knotted the yarn in several places and dyed it yellow with tin and tansey flowers. Then I unknotted the yarn and put the whole thing into the indigo pot. I am very happy with the result, and I can't wait to see what it looks like in combination with my navy blue warp. I had some Lincoln Wool (gray sheep) that I spun this winter and finished dying this weekend. First I dyed it red with cochinneal over tin, then I put it in the indigo pot. The final result is great, I think it looks like concord grapes.
