| Here is the single from the two batts I had bought. |
 |
| Sampler from HilltopCloud. I have some spindle spun from this but I will put them together once I have everything plyed! |
 |
| Early B-day present from my LBF!! Plus two more bobbins! |
 |
| Logwood Dyeing Experiments: Top Left: British Shropshire with Alum Mordant Bottom Left: Pink Extra-fine Merino with Alum Mordant Middle: 100% mystery Wool lace-weight yarn with Alum Mordant Right: Red Extra-fine Merino with Vinegar and 2nd dye-bath |
 |
| The pink in the centre and the red at the bottom are the merinos I used! |
 |
| From the Red Merino to a Burgundy color |
 |
| From the Pink Merino to a Lovely Rich Royal Purple! |
 |
| From a beige yarn to a almost brown purple! |
 |
| This is the Shropshire I have been using as of late! About time I would say! |
 |
| So from the off white to this lovely dark purple! |
 |
| So, what happens when alum doesn't bind with the fibre? Well it would have been this blue spot color! This is the only one I have found so far... |
