I totally meant to include this in my recent post about breaking black dye. I made up a little form that I could use to keep my dyeing process notes, because a good experiment should be repeatable. I thought I would share it with you! Free Dyer’s Log.
Happy dyeing!

This Saturday, the lovely ladies of the Spinning/Weaving Guild that my Mom belongs to (name withheld because I didn’t think to ask if they were ok with me name-dropping them online) held their annual Dye Day.
One of the members volunteered her garage (located on a lovely 12 acre farm with sheep), and set up tables and tents. They had a very cool 12- or 16-burner pot-boiling contraption that was ideal for a dyeing extravaganza, but it’s a mystery to me what the normal purpose of such a device would be.
