If it is big enough use it now. I think you can get dye out of the leaves by pulping them with salt and the fibre you are dyeing but it isn’t that good an idea if you are using wool as it could felt. This saves you getting the soda ash and Hydrosulfite
So first you put oxygen in then took oxygen out? Is this needed to get a blue color out of the woad? I’ve used indigo dye before but never agitated it in order to keep the oxygen out altogether. Then it does green and turns blue upon exposure to the air. Your blue wool color is just beautiful!!!
So fascinating, v how it comes out greenish and turns blue in the air! Thank you for this video, Mary
Thanks for this clear andconcise video, it's something I've been wanting to do for years.
Glad it was helpful!

I didn't find it choppy at all, but very informative- thank you!
Glad it helped!
Thanks Mary, I planted wode for the first time this year. I will have to give this a try.

All a bit mad. I call it the witch’s brew
What powder did you use to take the oxygen out of the water?
Hydrosulfite
