have to admit that I don't dye myself (I use the mulberry dyer's stuff),  but 
if it's any help, it comes out a very bright  yellow.

I'm like you, Robin, I just sent one thing Music.

But I love the hand died wool I got from Debbie Lough!  I just have 
to think of the right sort of embroidery to use it on.
And no, Debbie, I wasn't offended by what was used to make that 
lovely yellow. GRIN

Okay, with a hint like that, you just gotta tell us what the dye substance
was, or we'll just *DIE* of curiosity! ;o)

Cool!  I've wanted to do a fermented indigo vat, at least one version of
that involving a similar substance, but don't have the space/place for it,
given the odiferous results.  I live in a house chopped up into apartments,
and I'm pretty sure the neighbors wouldn't care for it! ;o)

Unfortunately for me -- I had financial problems so my package went out with 
wonderfull items from my stash.. including a piece of fake mink to use as 
edging for a fantastic outfit.. a pair of candle holders, ,,, and other stuff 
but I won't give it ALL away.

I haven't recieved my box yet,, I wasn't going to complain until the middle of 
January.

I got two skeins of wonderful chenille yarn (I feel a scarf about to happen) 
and a book on Renaissance lace, embroidery and needlepoint patterns. How great 
is that? Thanks a million to Jordana for such a thoughtful gift!

We received our package from Susan Carroll-Clark a couple of weeks 
ago, and we couldn't wait to open it.  A couple of lovely pieces of 
fabric, beads, two Chinese ornaments (one knotwork and one a painted 
plaque with tassels), and a pincushion of chinese men sitting around 
a pillow.  All very nifty stuff and much appreciated.  Thanks 
Susan!!(Included were pics of her kitties... very cute.)


Here's hoping our recipient received her package, we haven't heard 
from her.  It was mailed Dec. 4 or 5, thereabouts.


Merry Christmas to all!!
