Another thing that had been on The Pile for a long time was this space waistcoat! I dye painted this piece of cotton back in 2015 when we were doing silk painting in Textiles class. I think I started cutting the waistcoat about 2 years ago, covered the buttons, and then got distracted. I had to piece part of one shoulder because I'd already used up part of the fabric to make a couple of handkerchiefs, but I don't think it's too noticeable. After dyeing the cotton I had splattered some fabric ink on it and painted a few stars, but after lining the fronts recently I painted a lot more stars on, and then painted glow in the dark ink on top.

It was a bit tricky to get photos of the glowing, and the first two are brighter than it looks in real life, at least with the small amount of charging it had when I took them. I also did a running stitch around the edges with glow in the dark thread which I've had for at least a decade and never used! Then I accidentally melted part of it with my iron and had to redo that bit.

The lining is a thrifted cotton sateen bedsheet and the back is blue linen from I forget where. The buttonholes are done by machine first, same as the last one, and then covered in silk twist.

me: *has done a digital marketing course*

also me, when trying to think of ways to advertise my etsy:

Hello everyone, please buy my wool! I have ideas about doing a Project Hail Mary collection but I cannot currently afford the amount of yarn needed to make that dream a reality.

Here is my wool

Here is my shop!

I am also open to taking custom requests of either fibre or yarn, just send me a message and we can discuss what I can do for you!

I am based in the UK, and currently ship to: UK (excl. NI), USA, Canada, Australia and non-EU Europe.

Because I never posted it, here is the completed palette project!

48 colors of Jacquard acid dye, with 5 depths of shade of each color. The DOS are (darkest, on the bottom of each bundle) 2%, 1%, 0.5%, 0.25%, and 0.125% (lightest, on the top of each bundle).

Each sample is 10 grams, so this is, overall, over 5 pounds of wool dyed. 240 samples total, so 2,400 grams approximately. I did this all in Merino top, purchased from RH Lindsay Company Wool Merchants. Great place to get bulk (they sell by the pound) undyed top. I have found that the sliver has a little too much VM for me to be comfortable dying as is, but still great for other projects.

I used citric acid as my acid after finding I couldn't (efficiently) get to a suitable ph with vinegar. I purchased 8 pounds online after seeing the cost of an 8 ounce container at the grocery store, and I believe I used about 3 pounds of it for the project.

Each color has a tag, marking the color, so I can pull the samples from the display while creating a palette for projects.

In dyeing a cap for my Team Rocket yoga cosplay for Otakon, I accidentally made a skull with the paper towel that was sitting underneath it, as the hat dripped and dried out and the colours remained. Accidental tie-dye skull for the win! Literally considering framing it.
