To Dye For Bags!
I have this wonderful bag that started as a pillow I crocheted. I have gotten so many compliments on it i decided to try making a couple more and this was the first! I hand dyed all the wool for this bag, the purple comming from Alkanet root, the pinks from Cochineal and Madder, and the yellow from Osage shavings.
interior 7 x 6 in
exterior 9.5 x 8
strap 48in
Delta Dawn
This scarf turned out a lovely dusty rose color, with some almost steel grey mixed in, all of which i hand dyed myself. The rose and tan colors were dyed with Madder, and the steel grey was a combination of dying over wool that had been colored with Indigo. This is a 2 ply yarn knitted into a 6.5 x 34in scarf.
