Hello friends! After my great succes with Dyers' polypore dyeing with mushrooms has now become my entire personality. So naturally on my hikes I was searching for new mushrooms to dye my wool in all kinds of colours. And I came across weeping widow (Lacrymaria Lacrybunda), which is known to dye a pinkish brown hue. Colour me intrigued. Especially as a Weeping Widow is very on theme one this here Halloween/All Saint's Day.
I mentioned an alphabetical list of mushrooms that are able to produce dye, and I'm not leaving you without resources: namyco.org/mus...
Today we're extracting the pigments out of this mushroom and dyeing some Belgian Milksheep Wool the most beautiful beige colours. I really loved this project, how about you?
Just as last time we'll dunk the wool in some modifier afterbaths: iron modifier and some wood ash lye. So strap yourselves in tight as we're going the chaos route!
