Eilen tulivat kehräämöstä sinne syksyllä viemämme villat lankoina takaisin.
Kyllä nyt taas riittää värjättävää lankaa:) Aluksi värjään lisää lankaa torille, ja sen jälkeen myös nettikauppaan. Tarvitaan ensin lisää sinisiä, jotka värjään nyt jauhemaisella luonnonindigolla, ja paljon sinisiä tarvitaan myös pohjaksi vihreisiin, jotka ovat jo ihan lopussa. Omat väritattaren taimet odottavat istutusta ulos, ja ehkä uskallan laittaa ne harson alle loppuviikosta. Morsingot ovat myös jo taimella, samoin resedat selvisivät hyvin siirrosta ulos penkkiin. Ulkoakin alkaisi jo kohta saada erilaisia lehtiä keltaisten värien lähteeksi. Puutarhassa kukkivat narsissit:).
IN ENGLISH
Yesterday we got yarns from the spinnery, these were made from the wool we took there last November. I have now lots of yarn to dye:) First I have to dye more yarn for the market, and after that also to the online shop. First I need a lot of blue which I will dye with natural indigo powder, also blue is needed as a base for greens which are most already sold out now. My own japanese indigo seedlings are waiting to be planted out, perhaps I will do it later this week if the weather stays warm. After an unusually cold spring it has been now very warm since last week-end. Also woad is already growing, and weld seems to be ok after I transplanted them outside some time ago. Everything has started to grow and there are a lot of green leaves which I can collect to use for yellows. In the garden daffodils are flowering:).
wow! that's a truckful of yarn. hope dyeing goes well.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it is a lot of yarn, but it will have to last for a year until next spring:)
DeleteHow wonderful post! The daffodil flowers are awesome.
ReplyDeleteThank you:) Daffodils are one of my favourite plants, because voles don't eat them and they are quite cold hardy.
