This #naturaldye experiment began on a whim using black cosmo flowers I collected all summer. Once I pulled the skein I thought, might as well add my collection of marigolds into the afterbath to see what happens. And a few weeks later, I remembered the festering leftover dye and figured, I’ll just scrape off the mold and add my leftover onion dyed wool to once again, see what happens. Each result was a pleasant surprise! It doesn’t always work out like that.

This is the last in a trio of reels. It began with a basic dye using chocolate cosmos, and turned into how I try to use leftover dye until it can be used no more.
