    Some dye experiments

    Posted on by
    • Linen dyed with iron, weld and logwood
    • Merino wool dyed with iron, weld and osage
    • Silk dyed with iron, weld and logwood

    Some experiments with natural dyes. Looking for interesting colours in the grey, brown neutral range. Using a bit of iron with weld and several other natural dyes. I’m happy with the complexity of the colours of the various combinations.
