Wool On The Washing Line in Nepal

in washinglinephotography •  7 years ago  (edited)


Hand Dyed Wool Skeins


Whilst exploring Katmandu I spotted these wool skeins hung out to dry on washing lines.

When I investigated further I learned that they would be used to make shawls.

I was told the wool had been hand dyed using dyes made from rhubarb, pomegranate, indigo, acacia, madder, haro and walnut.

There are different colours, out of shot, on the right side of the pond.

wow, thats certainly unsual, thanks for the photo, its entered.

Thanks!

Awww... brings me back to Nepal... I love those brick / terracotta coloured buildings...

Yeah. I feel the same when I look at the photos @ackhoo. There's something very unique about Nepal which makes going back there in my mind, easy.

Interesting and attractive photo! Only two colors on the laundry line. Brick architecture always appeals to me. You might want to use the hashtag #distinctivewindows sponsored by @melinda010100 on this or future images💯

Thanks @ninahaskin. Are there any rules associated with the use of the distinctive windows tag. I couldn't find a post anywhere that talks about it?

No rules, just a tag to get recognized and tag melinda010100 as she's generous with rebooting quality posts😀

Thank you!
