More Solar Dyeing

It is 8:30 pm and I am just feeling like posting some photos. I set up another version of solar dyeing. This time I dyed lovely carded batts of wool and angora. I took each batt, saturated it with a mix of water, vinegar and soap, laid it in my black tub, sprinkled a bit of dye on it, and gently worked the dye in. Then I covered that batt with saran wrap, and put in another batt. After about 5 batts I put the glass cover on and left it. We'll see how it is tomorrow, if there is enough sun. Yesterday I did one batt alone, and will add a photo of the result of that. It still needs to be rinsed out. Right now it looks a bit like road kill....

here's the "done" one

this is the layers of batts ready to sit in the sun
