Hi Jules,
Catherine from Richmond SnB here, Kemena on Rav.
I have loads of fungi growing around my house, near Daylesford, and having been inspired by Norwegian friends, want to do a spot of trial dying.
I think that what I need to do is pick them, cut them smallish and mix with water and then steep my wool in the fungi/water mixture. I’m cool with this.
I guess that my mix would need to be coolish so as not to shrink/felt my wool. But, I think that I would get a more active dye bath if the fungi/water mix were heated before use. True?
The things I know nothing about are mordants and post-dye fixes. Where should I look to find recipes for these?
Are you still working at Morris & Sons? Should I find you there? Or perhaps meet up for a knitting beverage?
Thanks from the beginner
Hi Jules !
I’m really keen on learning a bit about extracting natural pigments and making dyes and was wanting to know when youd have a class or organise a private one?
Look forward to hearing from you !
