A new color wheel, design shared by my friend who got it from her teacher. Primaries, secondaries, tertiaries and an inner circle of neutralized colors (a bit of complementary added). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m working on some dyeing. It seems to come along with early March. This Nani Iro double-gauze remnant interested me because the figuration was so subtle. And seems to be random. What if it could be made more apparent with dye? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More apparent? The color is much warmer than the camera captured. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The other dyed fabric is two squares of duppioni silk. I had two colors, now I have four. I realized I don’t like large squares of this silk in patchwork because they get abraded and become a little fuzzy and catch on things, like rough winter hands. So smaller pieces in more colors is perfect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought I’d try drying it in the sun, but it was too windy. This old tangle of catmint held the scrap for awhile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I harvested some overwintered spinach from the hoophouse. I can’t believe this made it through the cold winter. We used insulating row cover at night and also a layer of silvered bubble wrap insulation if it was very cold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
