After and Before

from the book

Antiuqe Colors for Primitive Rugs

colors are fairly accurate

the top greens are less faded looking in person

top

olive green/plum  #27

full recipe

1/2 cup each in two pots

bottom 

bronze/green  #26

full recipe

1/2 cup each in two pots

these are the 2 wools overdyed with #26

they were sort of faded peach and pink 

quite hookable now! 

They dye pots and supplies have been bleached

stored away for another time

I really must get to finishing 

the pieces I've hooked the past few months

Back to work after 4 days off...

UGH!

Pumpkin Wool

 pattern by Cheri Payne

 when this pic showed up on Pinterest

the other day I knew I had to dye some

pumpkin wool 

it  is one of the few patterns of Cheri's I don't have

but that's okay

I have dozens so can make do with 

her other cat and pumpkin designs...

 

the pumpkin wool took two tries

first dye bath resulted in wool too soft/light for my taste

 redyeing made all the difference

the blue came out perfect the first time

#66 from Barb/Emma Lou's book

2 pots of green on the stove now

with 2 more to go later when the pots are free

It's a beautiful day here

very much like fall

Enjoy your day!
