What a surprise for the dye color result, but beautiful colors ! I am working on my version of the Nova Sweater by The Knit Purl Girl : I added a color pattern after the bottom of the yoke in order to have the thickness and warmth of the floats all over the sweater. ❤❤❤

Thanks to both of you for your thoughtful look at the year ahead. It’s encouraged me to stop and think about my own plans. I know I want to continue exploring local, undyed, and naturally dyed Fibers, enjoy my Shetland stash and my trips planned to New York State, Vermont and Portugal. I enjoy many podcasts but with over 400 items in my queue, (LMLK) I need to refine my project planning.

Did you scour and mordent before?
@ColorMeHappy.Fiberarts 24 күн бұрын
@@maryhawley4650 yes those are important steps. Thanks for asking about that! We use orvis for scouring and used alum for the mordant.

Do you need an acid to fix the colour before the copper mordant?
@ColorMeHappy.Fiberarts 28 күн бұрын
@@traceynoble6080 in this case, we used Alum as a mordant, then the weld, and then used copper to shift the color. But you can use copper first without any alum, and still get a similar color. You don’t have to have acid, but because we use copper sulfate, we do put some vinegar in to make the copper more available. Hope this is helpful!

Thank you for discussing the Pumila, I am just making this now and am so glad to hear your thoughts too. I did think I was losing my logical brain a little when trying to sort this one out:). There aren’t a lot of project notes in Ravelry, but someone did say to stick to the one-repeat chart and then note where the increases need to be, and/or print out the Japanese chart as well. Just at the beginning, we’ll see how it goes! It’s so lovely.
