A while back I mentioned doing some solar dyeing demonstrations for an Earth Day event at Martin Park Nature Center in conjunction with my exhibition, Niche. At the end of June, I finished off a couple of my dye jars and had only shared the one using red bud blossoms. The jar shown here included 100% wool dyed with onion skins, using alum as a mordant. As you can see, it was packed pretty tightly. The resulting yarn showed some interesting variegation of yellow and orange-brown.
My posting schedule has been a little inactive this past month - summertime has its demands I have not been able to spend much time at the computer. I do have a few projects to share soon, however. Until later this week...
