This is amazing 😍!!! The colours are great as is, but I do wish for a time machine to see just how vivid someone who clearly knew what they were doing was able to achieve at this piece's peak, befor time and light exposure.

I wonder if people ever planned around this...choosing their stitches in such a way that if an object was to be unravelled and reknit/sewn/woven down the line, the variegation of faded and preserved spots along the yarn would make a pleasing pattern?

My bf got this dye chart with local plants at an art thrift store! 🍂

#ooh..many of these are local to me too!#I have tried using onion skins before and it was pleasing but nowhere near so rich a colour as here #my favourite is when the colour is totally unexpected - a drab grey-green thing that gives brilliant yellow or mahogany or pale purple #I only played around at the science-experiments-for-children level #but this might be the excuse I need to get to keep hoarding and petting fibre while my body won't let me hold hooks and needles #plus I love woodland svavenger hunts!
