Easter-2013

Happy Easter!  As usual, I spent a little time with the dyepot this weekend.  I first colored a few eggs, and then filled my jars with wool.  I used 4 tablets of color for each jar, water, vinegar and about an ounce of wool in each.  I boiled it all for about 45 minutes and then just let them sit to cool.  I got some super bright colors to ply with.  Then, of course, I had to use the fluff to do a little Easter decorating.

    Lovely bright colours! I wish we had Easter egg dyeing tablets here down under. What will you do with these gorgeous fibre?

    Lovely colors! And very smart to use up the leftover dye.
