Wool Dyeing


I used the leftover egg dyes for some wool..... :-) The only one that really "took" was the cochineal. Apparently that beautiful yellow from the sandalwood prefers to attach itself to eggshells over wool. Still -- these make me think of ice cream. :-) Yum.

It was really fun....I love that you are thinking about dyeing fabric, though!!! Please post those photos and stories - and take it from me: Housework can wait. :-)
