Solar Dying Today


Solar Dying... Found a good use for those pretzel stick containers hubby keeps stacking up in the pantry and the empty animal crackers container my grandson finished off. I must remember to get hubby more pretzel sticks because these are awesome for solar dying!

I started the day, after coffee of course, skirting a Finn fleece. I sorted it into several grades and placed each in mesh laundry bags for a nice hot water bath. After the fleece was washed I put it into the solar dying "jars" which already contained boiling water, vinegar, and dye. While the sun dyes my finn fleece I'm going to work on some other fiber projects. :)
