Eucalyptus Dyeing
A very large gum tree near us dropped a branch in the recent winds. I went over with my pot and snips and filled it. I dyed the wool in a slightly different way to usual and simmered it for longer. The mordant was citric acid. Loving the rich brown. It will lighten a little when dry. I have slightly felted the yarn, nothing that can't be fixed, but it will make winding into a ball take a bit longer.
