i have a bowl of washed and picked wool that is now soaking in my sink with a tiny splash of vinegar to be separated out and dyed in the morning!
i also found my dyes and dug out my dyepot and spoon. Pro Tip: don't mix kitchen pots with dyepots if you use professional non-foodsafe dyes. also wear gloves and a respirator if you are working with the powdered stuff. that stuff gets *everywhere* omg.
i'll post pics as soon as i figure out the colors i want. i'm thinking... seafoam, copper, coral, lavender and maybe a dark gold? maybe a pale chestnut? i use CMYK ratios to mix my dyes and it's been a while. so it'll be anyone's guess what i end up with. 😆

My work for the next days: Sewing these flowers and butterflies (there ist batting underneath each, glued with textile glue) with ladder stitch all around the edges on the bought pillow case (80 x 80 cm). After this it is quilting time. 🧵
(Not everything is my colour palette/pattern, but it's especially requested by my kid. I sew a relatively simple quilt blanket out of big blocks in rainbow colours last year for my child and will also appliqué butterflies and my beloved rainbow-flowers on this.)#handsewing #nähen #sewing #handnähen #slowStitching #quilt #quilting #slowCrafting #Handarbeit #NähenVonHand #SewingForKids #Handarbeiten #quilten #nähenFürKinder #EPP #Hexies #Hexagon #EnglishPaperPiecing
