This class was a smattering of the many techniques involved in dyeing with plant dyes.
Day one we weighed, washed and mordanted yarn and fiber.
The morning of day two involved handpainting with fustic, lac, logwood and madder.
Before lunch we warmed the indigo pot and did some overdyeing with indigo and fustic for a wonderful green hue.
We ended our day with some immersion dyeing with madder, fustic, logwood and lac.
The final product: A wonderful spectrum of color.
Many thanks to Donna and Trish for creating such juicy yarn!
