Orange You Glad...

I finally wound the yarn I dyed the day I broke my arm :-(  I used some natural dyes (madder and fustic, plus alum mordant) to get this pretty peach-y/orange color.

adroe that color. with all the yarn colors out there why does one need to dye? Is it cheaper or just the challenge?

I think you are a crazy woman! I'll just take the beautiful finished yarn please.

Kind of like trying to make your own mozarella at home like I did the other day.

Except now, after two failed attempts for unknown reasons I will go out and buy the crap that's already made.

did you see the Italian mozz. that turned blue? A lady called the police when hers turned blue, lol. Only in Italy would this be a criminal offense. Good for you for trying to make cheese Lis!
