I have (started to) learned how to dye wool! Oh what fun! Colors mix and mingle and mold themselves into something beautiful!! When I am stirring the pot, sometimes an image pops up into my head of the witch stirring her cauldron to produce a magic potion. My magic is the gorgeous wool my pot produces.
My mentor/teacher/friend Karen over at Shady Hill Rug Hooking introduced me to the joys of dyeing wool and wool roving. Since I first was shown rug hooking back in the early 2000s by friend Joan, I have always wanted to learn to dye. I remember Joan telling me that she could see me loving the dyeing wool process. She was right!!
Right now I am playing with ProChem dye and Dorr Natural Wool.
What will I do with all this wool? Rug Hooking, Wool Applique, Spinning so stay tuned…..to find out more.
Some of the colors of wool I dyed this day. Yes, I should have been putting pavers down but chose to dye instead!
This was my very first wool and wool roving that I dyed. I felt like I had dyed and gone to heaven!!
