There hasn't been much sun here over the summer, so I have stopped the #solardyeing experiments. The last two skeins were dyed with St John's wort (green) and logwood in the forth draw. In used bleached wool yarn (Kampes 2-trådigt ullgarn) and mordanted with aluminum formate.

Hello #knitting community! This is the first time I post something knitted, but I have eyed and admired all of your projects for a while now. Thought I'd share my current WIP which is going to be a stranded hoodie, that is based on an instruction from the book 'Färga garn och sticka'. It is knit in lace yarn - Kampes 1-trådigt ullgarn with a gauge of 36 sts x 36 rows. I dyed the orange/red yarn myself with Kool Aid. I'm planning on steeking once I'm done.

I've been experimenting with #solardyeing this summer.
The latest skeins have just dried. The green one was dyed with weigela florida flowers on bleached wool yarn. The purple one was dyed with logwood in the 3. draw on handspun local wool yarn. Both yarns were mordanted with alum.

This seems like the Mastodon version of a chain letter, but here goes!
