When you made ...This little Robin matt is so cute ! When you made your pretty calico rug binding, did you leave the edges raw or did you turn back the edge that fits up against the rug ? Also I have lots of wool for hooking that was never washed , it was from my Mother's stash, from when she made suits. I am afraid to just throw it into the washine machine, but is that what I should do ? I am afraid of what may happen to the washing machine...the amount of lint scares me...NMKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11991594663697615793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817148833309325011.post-57152764111320179342013-02-19T12:00:48.548-05:002013-02-19T12:00:48.548-05:00Hi Lori!

You can use coffe, tea, vanilla or a mix of all three for a wonderful dye (and smells great too!) After I steam, or block, my finished hooked piece, and before I turn the edges back for binding, I use an old paintbrush dipped in the dye to gently stain the piece. Then I let it dry fully before stitching the binding on ~ you can dry it in a low oven or in the sun.<br />BE CAREFUL of staining overdyed wools!!!! do not soak the wools with the stain, it may cause the dyed wool to bleed!<br />Hope this helps ~<br />~LoriLori from Notforgotten Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11037697421025649621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817148833309325011.post-78737630174331364112013-02-19T09:58:09.227-05:002013-02-19T09:58:09.227-05:00I'm drooling over that stack of wool.

You mention walnut shell dye, but my daughter is allergic to nuts, so I couldn't use that. Any other products? And do you apply it with a spray or brush or what? I have used "Distress It" spray on punchneedle and paper. Thanks...jan janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03066375977524543633noreply@blogger.com
