"Simply Beautiful Colors" I highly recommend~♥
Saturday was spent reading "Simply Beautiful Colors" by Nancy Raybould and trying out her approach (with my sister-in-law) to dying all colors of wool using JUST 5 dyes!
It was the easiest~most streamlined system not to mention cost saving~♥
This is a sampling of the wool we dyed for WinterHill Woolens~
The jars are labeled with the 5 colors..
You can order the book, the swatches, the dyes and the spoons in one order at www.pioneerprimitives.com
I just got April DeConick The Wool Palette revised Edition yesterday and I love it. I was going to post the picture on my blog but I read the copyright and I need her written permission so I didn't post it.
ReplyDeleteYour colors are lovely. Are you using Cushing dyes? That is what April uses in her book. JB
Yes we used cushing dyes~just five of them to get all color combinations~ I did some more dying today to get some butter colors and some summer green~FANTASTIC!!!! Good to hear from you Julia!♥E
ReplyDeleteLove the red and yes summer strawberries would be super cute with that wool. I haven't tried dying yet but want too.
