Around 20wpi 2 ply, very happy with the hat. Took a million years to crochet, though. It’s just extended single crochet and then sc ribbing.

My latest weaving project, a mohair scarf!
I spun the yarn over a year ago but I didn't really have any plans for it, so when I was doing dyeing experiments decided to use it, the aim was sea/water colours and I think it turned out beautifully. The colour repeat on the warp is just longer than the scarf which makes a really nice pattern.
Once again I probably won't use the scarf once I've made it, but it's an experiment, for science and all that

From Umbilicaria polyrrhiza samples harvest on the east coast of Canada in 1992 or so, I have made purple. The ammonia soak was started on 02 November 2025 in a 50/50 of ammonia/water and the crushed up lichen.
First test dye has been on 32g of unmordanted wool which was added to hot water with about one tablespoon of the extraction liquid and left in a jar on a windowsil for about a day.
It has come out to be a lovely shade of mauve so far. I have added mordanted fibre and aome more extraction liquid to see how that goes, will update when that gets here.
Hi, crafting tumblr! I got questions.
Any advice on Kool Aid dye for wool? I don't have high expectations. A few months back I had a mild hypomanic episode and a really good coupon, and I bought 800 grams of undyed fingering weight wool. So now I should figure out how to dye it.
I picked up a few Kool Aid pouches while grocery shopping to experiment with. Is there a good way to determine how much powder and vinegar to use per weight? I'm struggling to find good info on this as most of what I'm finding is along the lines of an activity for children, and doesn't give good information on how to get strong saturation. Would it be a reasonable assumption to dose the powder and vinegar or citric acid similarly to how you would with, say, Jacquard acid dyes?
On that note I do have a shopping cart saved with a few Jacquard dyes. Just I want to see what I can accomplish with Kool Aid because it's cheap and purely want to experiment

Very happy with my first go at dyeing wool locks! If you like them, they’re available here. I think the earthy one is my favourite, I’m just a huge lover of green and brown.
