Had some that weren't so happy at the time but obviously found a great place in a rug at some point.<br /><br />BTW, city water and well water create different results (I have well water). Different parts of the US also plays a part in the type water and results. And a rug hooking teacher who dyes a LOT once told me she notices a difference in her wool when there is a drought or lots of rain. So you could always blame it on the water and not you.

I love the color you got and the thing I love about dyeing wool is it is always such a pleasant surprise. <br />Almost like magic I think. <br />I love the colors you got. Now that you did it, it will be come so addicting. When I dye wool, I am in such a happy place. Good for you.

I'd take my happy mistakes to the library group I hooked with and the girls would snatch them up and buy them, as no one in my area was dying wool at the time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4378251841712950681.post-19985125646366740672014-05-31T08:12:37.366-04:002014-05-31T08:12:37.366-04:00Lauren I've never heard that saying in your bl...Lauren I've never heard that saying in your blog title...LOL! Quite interesting... it has me pondering! I love Khaki Drab and use it a lot. I've found that very same thing that I need to concentrate when dyeing wool... very hard to do around here..LOL! But one good thing with dyeing wool almost everything can still be used to hook with! It seems there is never a color that can't used in a primitive rug! Keep up the great work! You may have started a new love!<br />Hugs!<br />Cathy GCathy G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14409521338403315750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4378251841712950681.post-91178191067465182932014-05-31T08:03:24.396-04:002014-05-31T08:03:24.396-04:00Beautiful colors, Lauren...I haven't dyed any ...Beautiful colors, Lauren...I haven't dyed any wool in years or even toned any down.

Your wool turned a lovely green, although a bit lighter than you wanted but like Pat said you can still over dye with something else.<br /><br />It matters how much wool you have in the pot, the more wool you have in the dye pot, the lighter the wool will be.<br /> If it's any consolation to you, I learn best by making mistakes and I have made lots.<br /><br />Keep at it and you will love dyeing. It feels like opening gifts on Christmas. It's always a surprise to see what comes out of the dye pot.<br />Hugs,<br />JB<br /><br /><br />Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4378251841712950681.post-67266248726971727892014-05-30T18:14:59.840-04:002014-05-30T18:14:59.840-04:00It is a pretty light green.

The nice thing is that it is very light and if you don't really need that much of it you can still over dye with something else.<br />Dying is changeable until you get to black!<br />weaverpathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533327863909312395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4378251841712950681.post-75942732263580524462014-05-30T18:11:49.859-04:002014-05-30T18:11:49.859-04:00Hello Lauren, I love how the wool turned out, grea...Hello Lauren, I love how the wool turned out, great colors, BlessingsvFrancine.Primitive Starshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02525399769247105105noreply@blogger.com
