I thought I would experiment with some natural dying, Harry has a great crop of marigolds so I thought I would give them a shot-
I had a lot of different fiber, some cotton, some of Denise's Shetland, and some cotton ribbon. I dyed them all in the marigolds
Then I overdyed some of them in my indigo pot
Next I decided to dye a shawl/throw that I just finished out of Denise's Shetland
I first dyed it in the marigolds
Then I overdyed it in the indigo
I am pretty happy with how it turned out
The rest of the fibers I am going to use in some "skinny" scarfs--think I am done dying for a while--but there is a lot of goldenrod around, who knows?
