Different yarns
Waiting for woad water to reach 50 degrees to places yarns in vat to dye
Yarns soaking in re-used woad. After the dye has been extracted the first time a second use of it then creates a pink colour when yarns are soaked in it.
The colour comes through once the yarn is taken out of the vat and exposed to oxygen
The yarns changed colour instantly from their natural colour to the different blue tones you can achieve from Woad. Each fibre reacts diffrently, creating slight variations of blue.
Examples of yarns which have been dyed using the woad plant.
