Silk version of my Sunday Trio ... Again, only water and naturals. Nice and pale, kind of an antique hue with a sheen :)

Sunday Trio

Vitex Agnus-Castus ~ Walnut Husk ~ Onion Skin


Spent all afternoon dyeing the wool yarn with available naturals in a farm near-by owned by a friend. I now have a nice book on natural dyeing but did not get to read to see the essentials so with my friend's encouragement, we did "all naturals" on wood fire ... No mordant, no salt, no vinegar!



 
 
Cloudy day here and my sweeties are drying indoors. Below picture taken while the yarn is still wet, so I expect them to be a bit paler! The yarn used again is PURE by the Knitbox :)


BTW, I want to thank Chantal who thought me how to make the mosaic pictures!
