When I was in Tasmania this year I did lots of dye experiments using local plants and whatever I had laying about in the pantry on skeins of merino wool.
Well I've finally done something with them.
I really needed a sweater that was loose and comfy but with 3/4 length sleeves so they don't get in the way when I'm working. After hunting through my knitting and crochet patterns I just couldn't find what I needed. Sooooo the 'Sloppy Possum was created. No rhyme or reason to the colour scheme just using up sample scraps. List of dyes below.
Soursob (with and without iron nail mordant)
Kangaroo paw rhizome
Driftwood log pulp
Cocoa
Coffee (instant and used grounds)
Raspberry cordial
Blackberry cordial
Natural wool
