I've also been playing with those wool garments again. I got my crock pot out again and did my best to fix some of the wools I dyed the first time I tried this. They were blotchy and colorful, but not quite what I was looking for. This time I used more packs of Kool-Ade for a deeper color. It worked great! The colors are a bit brighter in this picture, but I am really happy with them. I was told that this type of dying would wash out, but I found out it is permanent when I tried to wash some out...so I know it will be ok to use these in a project that may be washed in the future. I might try washing one more time with a piece of white fabric to see if it bleeds. So far I'm having fun! Will cook a little more wool today since I have a few more packets of that sweet smelling colored powder!
Now that's an odd picture, but I've put the wool away and don't have time to rearrange again for a new picture! It does show the colors pretty well though, so I'll leave it up for now!
Take Care,Missie

Such a great Woolie Welcome! And I can't wait to go get my Kool Aid and get to work on some of my wool!
ReplyDeleteWish I could have stayed longer and seen the outcome of the wool. Fun day yesterday....
ReplyDeleteThat came out beautifully and wonderful wools.
ReplyDeleteI got some light checked, that is thinner so that would be a good one to save for a wool quilt.
