it's like a rainbow


in which our plucky heroine shares her intention to add more color to her life and that of her beloved pals...
Marya and Seamus(sp?) were running a natural dyeing demo in the Artisan Village at Egil's, and colorful yarn came home with me this weekend... from left to right: brazilwood/madder/redsandalwood, cochineal, indigo overdyed with logwood, cochineal overdyed with indigo, indigo, dock overdyed with indigo, dock... My hope is that the yarn will be strong enough to use for card weaving, but if not, will be used for decorative embroidery, and either way will end up embellishing SCA clothing and gear
