Mine didn't do so well either -- and then I almost forgot to harvest the few I had! Geez. Happy week to us all. ;)Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071261854957363637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382541836368981865.post-17405984814556249832013-01-07T02:12:48.597-07:002013-01-07T02:12:48.597-07:00such beautiful silk and dye work! everytime i see ...such beautiful silk and dye work! everytime i see what you are doing i start to wish i had more time for dyeing!Joe Madlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00689856999523884499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382541836368981865.post-89809906651354092312013-01-05T23:09:41.413-07:002013-01-05T23:09:41.413-07:00Oooh LaLa...love that carrot cloth!!!

I will try again this year. When I was in Seattle, I visited the thrift stores gathering up silk. :)<br />Wishing you a beautiful weekend.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367949314724875797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382541836368981865.post-34945621400056160222013-01-04T13:23:59.355-07:002013-01-04T13:23:59.355-07:00Hi Peggy....those purple carrots are wonderful for...Hi Peggy....those purple carrots are wonderful for dyeing arent they? and so rewarding you undo your bundles.<br />I had some great success recently with sliced beetroot in red cabbage bath and also in an onion skin bath...silk was quite saturated with colour. I havent rinsed yet, like you will leave for a couple of months.<br />Love seeing your dyeing experiments.<br />Reading Deanna's comment above, you should try the tin cans, I love how they work in the dye pot. <br />Love and happy dyeing to you.<br /><br />Jacky xoxJackyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07347191565099767347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382541836368981865.post-31657218933056602542013-01-04T13:17:22.942-07:002013-01-04T13:17:22.942-07:00i planted 2 varieties of purple carrots last sprin...i planted 2 varieties of purple carrots last spring but they didn't do well. your cloth turned out beautiful. i've kind of slowed down on dyeing. i think the only dyeing i'll be doing will be with oak leaves and my tin cans. just love the results with the cans and their lids.deanna7treeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02707505639796548961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382541836368981865.post-44738748385087136602013-01-04T13:10:09.228-07:002013-01-04T13:10:09.228-07:00Oh, I just wanted to let you know that I'm so ...Oh, I just wanted to let you know that I'm so sorry that I haven't been visiting like I should ... your blog is magical and positive and beautiful and for some reason I stopped by and enjoyed this post so much.
