Tansy

I have seen some beautiful wool for sale on Etsy.
Some of it is hand spun and dyed.

I saw some beautiful yarn I liked, and they said they used Tansy, an herb, to dye the light green color that the yarn was. It was such a lovely color. I fell in love with the color.


So... today I picked some Tansy that I have in my flower garden in the back.


Put it in a large pot... Added the shirt I wanted this beautiful color... and started it boiling.
I did add a little vinegar...


And my shirt turned out the very light yellow green that I wanted I am very pleased!!!
