On this fabulous sunny day, I stained my fingers with Logwood Chips in an effort to produce some lovely samples for the website and instead became enamoured with the craft of dyeing using plants.

Top left to bottom right, samples included Merino wool prefelt, cotton fabric,
silk fabric, Mohair yarn, 80% wool / 20% nylon yarn, and paper yarn |

The different fibre content absorbed the colours in different ways. The purple of the Logwood Chips was quite consistent while the colour from the Fustic Chips ranged from creamy yellow to mustard.
