Some of my Dying

The peach color is a yellow base from mixed yellow blossoms exhaust overdyed with cochaniel exhaust on reclaimed merino. (fiber salvaged from some merino batting). The mossy green (actually a little darker than shown) came from fermented apple leaves with a hint of iron on reclaimed merino. The banana color came from the first dye of the mixed yellow blossoms on as yet unreclaimed merino batting. The slate blue was a surprise, having come from what I thought were pine needles I gathered along the side of the road. I LOVE the shade, and plan to try and dye some more this season. The picture with three colors are the same as the slate blue previously discussed only on mystery locks. First was part of the initial dye, 2nd is with exhaust, 3rd is exhaust plus ammonia.



Here are some
