Are there any dye plants that self seed? I'm a lazy gardener. 😅
@ColorMeHappy.Fiberarts 11 күн бұрын
Well, we are in the Indianapolis area and several of our coreopsis and some Japanese indigo appeared to self seed, but we don’t count on it. Goldenrod can be harvested many places. Although marigolds might self seed, they did not in our garden, but they are easy to grow and maintain!

Thank you for this episode. I was not aware of steam dying: very interesting. I love the Exact Opposite cowl, especially with a slow changing color yarn. ❤❤❤
@ColorMeHappy.Fiberarts 16 күн бұрын
@@mongrain8934 thanks! We use steaming when we hand paint the yarn or fiber. When we are doing a tonal color, we usually use an immersion method in a stockpot. The cowl was fun to knit!

I love Linda's knit bag and Michelle's exact opposite cowl! I started thinking about the microwave and whether it's truly off-brand, because in reality it uses far less energy than a regular streamer. So in that sense, it would be a more sustainable practice. Just a thought.

theres something lovely about seeing a small buisness fiber mill. Like idk if I was a farmer I would feel happy having a real relationship to my miller.

Have you considered dyeing the fleece before spinning?
@ColorMeHappy.Fiberarts 2 ай бұрын
Yes! That is a fun way to put different colors together in your yarn. After scouring the wool and premordanting, I like to dye it in jars so I can make several different colors at the same time.

Thank you for discussing the Pumila, I am just making this now and am so glad to hear your thoughts too. I did think I was losing my logical brain a little when trying to sort this one out:). There aren’t a lot of project notes in Ravelry, but someone did say to stick to the one-repeat chart and then note where the increases need to be, and/or print out the Japanese chart as well. Just at the beginning, we’ll see how it goes! It’s so lovely.

@ColorMeHappy.Fiberarts 6 ай бұрын
Thanks! We used alum (potassium alum sulfate). Although it may not really need one because of the tannins, we still use mordants for consistency.

I find that the mosaic portion of the Quintet Shawlette is a clever way to transition to the next color. That blue color could be Old Grover 😊. Keep us posted on your embroidery project: it gives me courage to try it someday. The magic of natural dye won't stop to amaze me!

Thank you for sharing your dying experiment and projects. Such beautiful colors ! The lace motif of the bandana is less apparent on the purple version, probably because the two different colors create a marled effect, but I like them both. I am presently knitting a dress based on the Mamaki pattern by Nicolor.

Hi! We are so happy you discovered us too! That is a great question, and something we can cover in future episodes. For a short answer - as long as the natural dyes are used correctly, they can last centuries! Good luck with your sweater. We hope you will share your progress with us.
