Today's Formula - Lupine

It's a gray day here, it seems heartening to imagine violet in its place.

Here is my Lupine using my Majic Carpet Dyes.

My oh my.... it paints a gray day splendidly against the last of the golden leaves.

Lupine

1/128 tsp. Red Violet

1/128 +1/256 tsp. Blue

1/256 tsp. Seal Brown

1/512 tsp Black

Method:

Dyed over 1/8th yd of natural wool. I wet the wool. I dissolved the Majic Carpet dyes together in boiling water, poured them into the barely heated dye bath, added the wool and waited until the water almost cleared to add 1/32 tsp citric acid or 1 tbsp vinegar.Wait for water to clear. Rinse well and dry.

Wait until water clears.
