Last month Jane Deane, Amanda Hannaford, Helen Melvin and I were in The Hague for a workshop. It was arranged by Dineke de With, who lives in Leidschendam just north of the city. We were making our way to catch the tram into The Hague when we came across this building which immediately made Jane and I think "Rug"!I was tempted to rotate the image of the building 90 degrees, laying it on it's side, more reminiscent of a rug, but resisted. Would you have rotated it? I'd be interested to know.
So what colours would I use to dye the yarn for my rug?
From Left to Right:
Golden dock modified with iron.
Golden dock modified with copper.
Myrobalan modified with citric acid.
Myrobalan modified with iron.
Cutch.
Golden dock modified with washing soda.
Pomegranate modified with iron.
Red lac modified with iron.
Don't for get that these colours are with my water, they may vary with the water in your area.
What would you use?
