Hand dyeing wool with Landscape Dyes

Emmie and I spent a lovely day over the weekend dyeing some wool roving, wool felt sheets and wool blanket with some Landscape Dyes. We spent the whole afternoon tending the fire, mixing up the dyes and adding wool to the pots - so much fun! We're both really pleased with the results, and we both really enjoyed the process. So you can't ask for more than that really! What a lovely way to spend an afternoon. I hope you enjoy watching the process.

Thank you Jan! I'm so pleased with how they turned out. Can't wait to do some more now, but I need the weather to be dry on a day when I'm able to dedicate the time to it! x

Thank you! I enjoyed it so much. It was a perfect day as well with the weather. I have a secret project planned for the wool! I will announce it soon! x

Wow! they turned out amazing. I have just started planting my allotment garden where I hope to grow all my own dye plants, but in the meantime I will use Landscape dyes as I was given some by a lady in a textile group I used to go to. I never thought it through really of how to make a dye pot, so I just added dye to water and then added my fleece, and then added a different colour to blend two colours together to get another colour etc. they all turned out great but with no blending obviously just straight colour ways which are still beautiful, having done that process I then asked myself the question of "how do I achieve a more blended colour way"? and you have answered that question beautifully in your video with such amazing results, so TFS this has now given me another reason to do some more dyeing lol - I have just ordered some more raw fleece and am looking forward to using your method and excited about the results. You have also inspired me to think outside the box in terms of using my tiny patio to work outside on a fire pit to save on gas, what a great idea!!!

So lovely to read this! Thank you for your lovely comment. I am so happy to hear that you will have a go with the landscape dyes in this way. It's so much fun! The fire pit works pretty well, especially if you have a trivet / stand to use instead of balancing it on a grill like I initially was in this video. Wishing you a happy time with your wool dyeing! x
