This weekend, I dyed some yarn with Lupina-flowers. I´m getting more and more fascinated by yarn-dyeing with plants, this is like magic! The flowers looked so beautiful in the pot I just have to show you some picures of them:
After cooking the flowers, the water got purple - and because of that, I really didn´t know what to expect when I pulled the yarn out of the water, after cooking it for about an hour or so. I´ve read, that the yarn should get neon-green or really yellow - but I got some beautiful moss-green colour out of it. I´ve always wanted einband-yarn in this colour so I´m LOVING this result and really happy that it didn´t get neon-green :-) Just like I told you in the last post, it is almost impossible to see the real colours of the yarn on pictures, but here you go anyway:

ReplyDeletehihi , þetta var nú öfugmæli með hann Jöra - hann sér víst rautt þegar hann sér lúpínu þar sem hún eyðileggur fyrir vexti Holtasóleyjarinnar. Hann er örugglega ánægður með að þú fækkir þeim aðeins : )
