No wool drying outside today. Woke up to pouring rain and I don't see the clouds parting. Was hoping to get a package out to the carding mill this week. I'm working on a big batch of black mohair blended with brightly colored wool. Love the way mohair adds luster and slip to the roving.
I dyed this Border Leicester wool with Dharma's Pink Orchid. I can't see much difference between Jacquard Deep Magenta and this dye. I'm very happy with the Dharma dyes out of California. I have way too much fiber to use naturals dyes. I would need truck loads of leaves, roots and berries. I might use some of the poke weed berries once they come out, if the birds leave some for me.
