dyed naturally with buckthorn and coreopsis...it is sooo soft and user friendly....very light...now onto more Eco prints and another blanket ...I actually took an order for a lap blanket in naturals so am spinning some brown english leicester and dyed so e brushed mohair in so e walnut hulls from a year ago....the mold on the top was quite dramatic, but I believed Jenny Dean who said it helped to darken the dye, so I sieved it off, and it is a wonderful rich brown....will show when it dries, and of course no mordanting!!!! I am so speedy, anything quick and easy is a good thing...the weather has been very hot but amazingly it hasn't deterred me from wool ...apparently obsession wins over heat ...who knew! Lo

I think it is very lovely, and wonderful that you have chosen to return to natural dyes. How exciting!

Its been a wnderful journey , full circle back to the naturals....thanks for your comment
This is really lovely, what is the finished size and what implement did you use to brush?
This is absolutely georgeous! What a luxury it must be to wrap oneself in this natural dyed goodness.
No brushing as it had wool boucle with the brushed mohair, I think the colour actually made it softer and fluffier...lol definitely warm colours help to enhance coziness...thanks for the compliments....
