mordanting the first batch of washed shetland with alum--this is like my second time ever using alum bc you cant make it and i'm terminally poor, but the rya lambswool i dyed yellow with it ... last year ? last month ? some time in the past, idk, turned out really bright and vibrant so i wanted to try it again. i did get enough alum to do the other batch with it as well, altho i also have copper so i might do that instead. using maybe 13ish percent wof alum, with a little cream of tartar as well bc i finally got that for once too.
#so far today have done a couple of dishes while sitting down and a very quick trip to the store to get (overpriced tiny containers of) alum#(was get 3 for the price of 1 due to my ways)#and i already am in. so much pain. and am so exhausted#barely made it back to the car b4 my knee stopped being a functional knee and instead turned into a white hot ball of searing pain#so thats truly something#am getting increasingly panicked about how to get a job like this haha#chronic illness#natural dyeing
