A Tale of Woad II: more dyeing summer 2020

 



The Blue Froth!!!




Had so many plants last summer, 
I moved the dyeing outside 
and 
invited fiber friends to come share the bounty.

I was able to dye multiple batches of washed fleece and yarn.

The woad kept growing back!


torn up leaves, ready to go!

poured boiling water over & let it steep

A friend enjoys the magic moment when the yarn turns from green to blue

shades of blue

Plenty of blue roving to spin and for weaving into rugs.
