Left it to cool down completely and kept it in the dye for another day. It kept simmering just below cooking point for half an hour. Yarn and dye go in a large pot and it is warming up to a light boil. I soaked the yarn (500 grs of undyed wool DK weight). ![]() The water turned rather quickly in a dark brown color.Īfter removing the bag with the husks, just the liquid dye was left. I put them inside a fabric bag and left them in water for two days. But this year I wanted to give dyeing a try. They smell so nice… Last year we made ‘vin aux noix’ from them.
