Dyed fabrics and yarns from last summer
Last summer dyeing sessions produced wool and linen fabrics for Viking garb and to late Iron Age and medieval accessories. I also need lots of colorful wool yearns for future embroidery projects. It is amazing how many shades it is possible to get from plants. Greens are dyed with green plants or yellowish plant dyes and indigo.
IDyeing with indigo is messy and some of the chemicals are not exactly healthy. One dye bath will dye couple of fabrics in to dark blue and bath produces lighter shades forever. Bath and freshly dyed fabric are green. When indigo oxidizes it comes blue. Green fabric turns more and more blue.
