I’m not using dyer’s chamomile, just dried chamomile flowers, I’m not sure if there is a big difference. I would love to know if it would be colorfast/lightfast enough to use for a weaving.
I’ve been spinning and natural dyeing for tapestry weaving for nearly a year now. Processed from Wensleydale fleece and spun on a Turkish spindle. Dyed with cochineal, indigo, and logwood. 8 EPI
It came out to be 6 3/4” x 3 1/4” (with 1/8” draw-in). This was my first time practicing color gradation with weft bundling, and I just learned pick and pick. It was also my first time weaving with my hand spun! I’m struggling with ridging at the edges. The Wensleydale is so fuzzy and a pleasure to work with!
The V looks a little funky because it is a 15th century text.
It’s not exactly what I was going for, but practice makes progress. There are some areas where I LOVE the texture, and other areas where I don’t. I learned from WoolToGold’s tutorial on YouTube. Any tips or advice?
