I dyed cotton wool balls with iron oxide and the varying shades of grey and black were interesting. When I tried to fix it with soda bicarbonate and vinegar, the colour rubbed off on my hands. Maybe I should've used salt and heated like you did. Next I'll try henna, coffee and powdered paint and tumeric. Thanks for these great tips!

Great post. I'm a knitter/beginning spinner trying to step into a more sustainable kind of lifestyle. We are starting to look into foraging and planting and using what we have locally for eating, etc. I can't wait to use your technique on some hand-spun wool!! Wow! Great post.
