this is not going to get hammered tonight and tomorrow it will be gone
the pot is doing something. slooooowwwwly
these whisper at night telling me stories in my dreams
the first one on the left is from fresh walnut leaves, the second eucalyptus windfalls solar dyed, slooowwwwlllyyy with no mordant. the walnut is a very warm colour. both washed and rinsed. the net bags hold smaller bits of fleece
I spent the afternoon chuckling- carding with dog brushes!you can see before and after. I think what I need is combs- I'll have to find some and try them out.
and these are the colours. all are natural, the grey at the top is a combination of the other ones. the white was by far the easiest- fastest- softest. I have only rinsed them, they are great to touch and smell of wool. and they are much much cleaner than they were.
there is going to be felting tonight!

I love the fleeces hanging on the line, reminds me of dreadlocks.
Is the bottom picture dog hair? That is such a good idea, my dog (sadly missed) could give any sheep a run for her money, she was so fluffy :)
hallo jasmine, I love the look of the fleeces too, luckily they are not dreadlocks - I couldn't do anything with them if they were. in the last photos is wool from the fleeces- not doghair- I used the dogs brushes to comb- card the wool, in little, little bits. I have to find some proper equipment, but I was impatient to try out the wool- it is a first for me, homemade raw fleece wool
Hammerd?
