Wool Bundles
I'm hoping to open my wool bundles tomorrow finally! It looks like it won't rain tonight fingers crossed, I'm really curious to see what they look like inside.

Three Winters Cloth sitting atop my indigo vat lid. These bundles, wads would be a better description, of fabric, table clothes, and linen towels have been here for three winters/years. I expected way more damage than what occurred. There was some rusting (yeah) due to the fabric touching the iron grid next to the dye vat. More pics later.

Solar Dyeing
I started by placing an ounce of dye materials into a clean quart jar (old spagetti sauce jars)
Filled the jars with vodka or everclear until the dye materials are covered, placed lid on jar and allowed to sit overnight.
Leave in sun for up to three weeks, check to make sure that mold isn't growing on your fabrics. 2004
