Sunny Yellow Soursob

The Big Spring Clean is nearly at an end thank goodness. Uncovering the sewing room was like an archeological dig!
The sewing room is now the guest room and my son's old room is now the craft/sewing room :)
Anyhoooooo enough domesticity and onto some dyepots. Simmering away on the fire is an aluminum pot of rainwater and a frozen Soursob teabag made from an old stocking. A skein of merino 8ply wool is taking up a beautiful luminous yellow.
Tomorrow I will use the same dye bath but with an iron nail added to color another skein of wool. I'm hoping for a bright green but you just never know how the dye dice will roll ha ha ha.
