  10. The wool has been sitting in the colouring broth the whole day. I finally took it out, rinsed it and hung it out to dry. I am pretty pleased with the colour. Most probably it will lighten a bit when dry, but it is an even and luscius yellow.

  14. I am sieving the onion skins into an old laundry net, put the broth back in the pot and in goes the wool. To keep the wool covered I put the laundry net with the skins in top. Now it has to heat up slowly to about 70 degree Celsius and kept there for about an hour or two.

  17. Both onion skin broth and mordanting bath with the wool have cooled down to room temperature. I will let the wool soak overnight in the mordanting solution as well as the onion skins in their broth. It has a very intense brownish colour. Tomorrow I will sieve the broth and put the wool in. I am very excited about the colour result.

  23. Wohoo, it's dye day. Normally I buy my wool for weaving, but I got a good amount of onion skins from my local organic grocery store, which are great for dying (I hope). First I prepare the onion skins for extracting the pigments and the wool for mordanting with potash alum.

  26. Heyyyy mastodon!

    It’s time for a snapshot #introduction of me, and how I'm hoping to contribute to this platform

    My name is Cassie and I run a Philadelphia based community craft and art group. The group started 9 years ago on another well known platform and over the years it stopped serving our purposes. My hope is that this space can help connect our local community and inspire others to follow suit.

    I prefer she/her and they/them pronouns and I default to using they/them pronouns with new people that don’t specify a preference.

    I'm an #artist, #crafter, #organizer, and #designer. In order of most experienced to least, I utilize and teach the following skills: #leatherwork #accessorydesign #handembroidery #chainstitchembroidery #basketweaving #handbuildingclay #bookmaking #printing #surfacedesign #naturaldyeing #felting #spinningyarn #painting #drawing

    I like to create, I have a love of aquatic fish, mushrooms, bugs, bones, prismatic colors, texture, line work, anything tufted, and gin is the way to my heart.

    I look forward to sharing my creations and offering support with questions about any skillsets that I am able!

  31. Inspired by Caitlin Ffrench's book Gathering Colour, I planted indigo in my #CommunityGarden plot this year. I can't be arsed to deal with an indigo vat in our apartment, so I experimented with fresh leaf indigo dyeing.

    Some things I learned:

    1. Salt & whole leaves mashed into the fabric (the shawls at each end) yielded bluer tones; blender slurry with cold water & salt (the scarves in the middle & the yarn) gave greener tones.

  36. today is the test batch to dial in the color intensity I want to target

    .5 oz of unmordanted merino yarn loosely tied as a mini skein inside a cheesecloth bag with g of usnea in tap water held between 160-175 for 1hr resulted in a lovely yellow extraction. peeking at the yarn so far its a very very pale yellow.

    so far not sold on using the cheesecloth and will probably forgo it next round and hoping to see a more vibrant color tomorrow 🤞

    will be leaving everything together in the dye pot overnight and check in on the color before making some final decisions... #dye #NaturalDyeing #LichenSubscribe #Lichen #FiberArts

    - weld (bright yellow)
    - madder (red)
    - cochineal (pink)
