I have been having fun with rust dyeing. So simple-just rusty nails , silk and dye.
Half the fun is opening the packages.
You never know quite what will come out
and despite the expression on my face I am really pleased with this one.
I love them and they are quite my newest passion !

And they are lovely to felt with.
The one on the left in the picture is felted with some of my fabulous 15 micron merino.

See you there I hope.
