Once again this post has me shaking my head at how fast time has flown since my last post!
As typical here in Florida, we have been having afternoon thunderstorms. While I love how green it makes the pastures, it creates a whole other level of mess when you are dealing with animals.
Case in point....here are two of my dodos who love to sit in the rain....they are soaked!
Before the rain started, I tried a round of solar dyeing in 1/2 gallon mason jars. I was happily surprised at how successful it was and plan on (once the sun comes back) continuing this daily throughout the summer.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE all of the photos you post of your critters here and on FB. I want fiber goats now!
ReplyDeleteAndrea,
ReplyDeleteI have loved every single second of it! These little goats have won my heart. :) I saw the beehive your DH has, how cool that you will have your own honey!

Great colours from your solar dyeing.. what sort of dyes do you use?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the photo of your goats, they are so pretty!

Deborah,
ReplyDeleteThese are Jaquard and Dharma acid dyes. I like the consistency I get using them. I had another dozen jars full yesterday. I'm having fun plowing through large amounts of dyeing. The goaties are like chips, I cannot seem to have just one! I have 2 more Pygoras that will be joining us in a few months and then I think I will be done... ;)
