Last week I have been making little skeins of dyed yarn, today I am going to send these to Iitti Väripuoti where they sell these. Skeins are about 20 grams each and there are 175 of them, around 60 different shades.
There are also two kits for making mittens, with yarn and instructions inside (also in english)
They are called Hunting Luck and the one below is Willow Herb.
Vielä kuvia langoista lähempää. Nämä on värjätty sienillä, oikeassa reunassa on muutama veriseitikeillä värjätty, suurin osa on verihelttaseitikillä värjättyä ja vasemmassa reunassa on joitain keltahelttaseitikilla ja pörhösuomuhelokalla värjättyä

A closer picture of the yarns. These are all dyed with mushrooms, in the right there are some, that are dyed with Cortinarius sanguineus, then in the middle most are dyed with Cortinarius semisanguineus and in the left these are some yellows dyed with Cortinarius cinnamomeolutea (I'm not sure if that went right, I'll have to check) and Pholiota squarrosa
Seuraavan kuvan langoista oikeassa reunassa olevat punaiset on värjätty verihelttaseitikin ja kokenillin sekoituksella, sitten vasemmalla violetimmat ovat pelkällä kokenillilla värjättyjä. Vihertävät on värjätty samettijaloilla ja ruosteorakkaalla ja siniharmaat, jotka oikeasti ovat sinisempiä kuin kuvassa, ovat löyhkäsilokkalankoja.

In the next picture, red yarns in the right are dyed mixing Cortinarius semisanguineus and cochineal, then next are only cochineal. Green yarns (in the picture they look more brown, but really they are green) are dyed with Paxillus atrotomentosus and Hydnellum ferrugineum. Greyish blue yarns are dyed with Telephora palmata.
Vielä lopuksi lähikuva indigolla värjätyistä langoista. Vihreissä on ollut pohjana keltainen pietaryrtti-, reseda -tai suopursuväri, sitten sinisellä indigolla päällevärjäys. Keltaiset vasemmassa reunassa on värjätty väriresedalla, paatsaman- ja lepänkuorilla.
In English
Blue colors are dyed with natural indigo, green were first dyed yellow and then overdyed with indigo. The yellows in the left are dyed with weld and treebarks.
Aivan hurmaavia sävyjä pikkuvyyhdeissä! Onnea matkaan niille Iittiin. Niillähän voisi vaikka rekipeittoa kirjoa. Ihanat myös nuo valmiit tarvikepaketit.
ReplyDeleteNiinpä, täällä jo kieli pitkällä pakettia odotellaan. ;)
ReplyDeleteTervetuloa tutustumaan ja ostoksille!
Absolutely fantastic colors!
ReplyDeleteFor what number needles is the yarn?
My brother was in Helsinki in February and took a picture of a stand selling yarn. Must have been you!! What a coincidence

Thanks Irma:)
ReplyDeleteIn wintertime my husband is in the market, mostly only on Saturdays, so your brother propably really saw our yarns. Sometimes another sheepfarmer is also there, but he doesn't have naturally dyed yarns, they are hand dyed though, and beautiful.
You can knit our yarn with needle that are 2,5-3,5, depending what you make and how tight you knit. I use 2,5 when I'm making mittens or something like that and for scarves I use 3,5.
Our yarn is good for mittens, hats, scarves and sweaters, but for socks it is too thin and soft, so I won't recommend it for them.
What beautiful colours!
ReplyDeleteI have never dyed with mushrooms, so am really interested in those colours, particularly.

I still have a little dried mushrooms, I have saved them for dyeing yarn for kits and will post pictures and how I dye with them when I dye with them next time, but now I am really hoping for a rainy summer so that there would be lots of mushrooms in September, that is the main season for Cortinarius mushrooms here. I am also looking forward to Hydnellum mushrooms, because they give green/ bluish colors.
ReplyDeleteYou can get same kind of colors from other natural dyes, but mushrooms are fun to pick, biggest job is to carry them all home and then dry them. I love forests in the fall, especially after first frosts that kill all the little bugs.
