It\u2019s time for planting garlic, harvesting root vegetables, and brewing up the dyes from summer harvests.  I harvested my weld in June and again in July when we were home briefly, then left it to dry in Bob\u2019s workshop.  This weekend I made the dye solution at a friend\u2019s house.  She mixed up more colors of ProChem acid dyes than I could count!  Three of us had a great time painting skeins of handspun and commercial wool yarns and sock blanks!  <\/p>\n

Between gathering in the herbs from the season and making dye, I feel a bit of bewitching power!  Look out!<\/p>\n

\"dyeing<\/a> The acid dyed skeins and one sock blank skeined double. Colors used in these skeins are \u201cbright red,\u201d  \u201ccranberry,\u201d      \u201cmaple sugar,\u201d
\u201cmustard,\u201d
\u201csaffron,\u201d \u201cmoss green.\u201d These are unknown skeins from KnitPicks, possibly \u201cPalette,\u201d and a Knit Picks sock blank of superwash wool\/nylon.<\/p>\n

\"dyeing<\/a> <\/p>\n

Both skeins dyed with weld, with one skein handpainted with \u201csaffron\u201d and \u201cmustard.\u201d  Sadly, you cannot see what a lovely pear green the weld made.  I love it! Both skeins are \u201cTexas\u201d by Henry\u2019s Attic (50% wool, 50% mohair)<\/p>\n

Last (and least in my mind), blues, violets and charcoal. This is another unknown Knit Picks skein with a lovely twist.  Merino? It\u2019s fingering weight, about 400 yds per 100 grams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
