Burnt offerings

Silk noil and silk mix thread

Well what can I say, I had beautiful colour when I turned the dye pot off but I hadn't turned it off at the mains so for some reason it decided to carry on cooking, all night. The yellow shade is a bit darker than these photos.
I can still use these but they are not the lovely yellow I was expecting.
The process I followed was mainly from Jenny Dean's book Wild Colour, it does all get a bit smelly so I would advise doing it outside if you can.
The daffodil season is over so I have a whole year to wait to try it again.

    Aw, so sorry you are disappointed, Debbie. Next time you'll remember. In the meantime, I'm sure you will be creative and "make lemonade out of lemons" (no reference to color). Can't wait to see how you use it!

      A bit disappointed as I would have liked to see the true colour but it will still get used sometime, will go in my stash for now probably.
