On the Bench Today - Dying the Wool for the first rug hooking!!

in handcrafted •  7 years ago 

Dying wool is a little learning curve from silks, because it is not so forgiving...but, all in all I think the first batch came out well :)

I followed the values on the colour cards I got from Lucy (The Wooly Mason Jar), but then I also played a bit with the variegated...

Next Monday I will post on the first stages of needle punch hooking, at least how well it works for me :)

Wow!!!! Its yarn right? A wool.. i love the colors!!!

Yes :) I used The Wooly Mason Jar dye system, and it worked really well :D I wish I had sheep now so I could make the yarn too...

The blue one is especially pretty! I enjoy rug hooking with the thicker stuff...because they come together pretty fast. I don't use patterns though...just blocks and rows of coordinating color. The last one that I made was awhile ago and it was just random rainbow! <3

Those came out beautiful and rich!
