A yard and a half of yumminess in the form of 6 quarter yard pieces of newly dyed wool fresh from the dryer. I was very pleased with my success in replicating the colors in this painting of hydrangeas I found on the internet. The color swatch is one I created by uploading the image to the Kuhlerhere. website. You can find it and other hydrangea themes by using the search option or go directly to my by clicking
I know I will need to dye more wool for the hydrangeas, so next time I will focus on the darker purple tones and maybe a bit more yellows and greens. My notes for dying the wool are on yesterday's post. I'm so excited--I may have to cut some and dip my hook into that virgin linen backing...
I find your process for dyeing wool very interesting as this is much the same way I dye mine. Your colors are beautiful and should hook the hydrangeas very well. Can't wait to see them! I have been wanting to get out my dye pots so bad lately but things are too hectic right now......so enjoyed seeing your pan cooking away!!

Your colors are incredible! They'll be perfect for the hydrangea project. Today I'm trying some natural dyeing. I was pulling up flowers in the yard and decided to use the marigolds to see what I came up with. Right now the wool is mordanting, but I can hardly wait to get started!
