Egg dyeing fun

I guess I should have worn rubber gloves! I took 2 ounces of merino roving, soaked it in some vinegar and water and then dipped it in the leftover egg dye. We used a 5 color tie die kit. Each of the colors was in a tray so I just had to squish the wool into each color. My hands looked better after a shower.





I split the roving into four strips. Now I have to find time to spin them up!


Last year we used the 9 color Paas kit. I dyed some mohair locks to use for needle felting.



A few years ago, I dyed some of my handspun merino with the leftovers from a 9 color kit. After it dried, I ran out and took this picture before a storm came.

Back to Belington

I was able to go back the Belington Presbyterian dinner in 2006.

One of the friendly greeters!

All those hungry ramp eaters!

This was the view when I left the church. It had been raining and it made the colors more intense.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to any dinners in 2007. I ordered some from G&N Ramp Farm and cooked them up with some bacon. I hope to get to a dinner this year so look for me!

New blog -- first post

This was actually from my old blog. It was dated April 1, 2005.

This is me. If you see me at a dinner, be sure to say hi!

I was only able to attend one dinner in 2005. I sure enjoyed my meal at Belington (WV) Presbyterian Church. As you see, I'm chowing down.
