Spring Colours
It has been so lovely these days! I went out for a bike ride yesterday and took these pictures before it got cold, wet and windy. The tulips in the park were stunning…
I think a squirrel transplanted that bulb from another garden…
The crabapple trees are also in full bloom…2 weeks earlier than normal!
Compared to this lovely colour in the park, my dyeing isn’t working out as well as anticipated….
For some reason, the black beans (from the same package as before) are dyeing this wool a light purple. I’m going to keep it in the bean water for a while longer, and maybe it will pick up more colour. Maybe I’ll add some alum. Maybe I’ll end up dipping it in ammonia. Maybe I’ll need to break out the kool-aid to give it more colour in the end. Who knows.
In the mean time…..more tulips!
