(When I'm not hiking or reading a book!) I've already packed most of the yarn and patterns I'll be taking. Plus the spinning I've been working on is for the big sweater project. I have to finish spinning, dyeing and winding it into balls before we go because there's no room for extra equipment!Louisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685532773952211627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12698509.post-15531676340201466302016-06-09T00:27:57.706-07:002016-06-09T00:27:57.706-07:00WOW, this is absolutely gorgeous, but even more so...WOW, this is absolutely gorgeous, but even more so after I know how you loved it into existence. Will you still do knitting, etc., while you are on the road? Or is this a stupid question?Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06218727738029858422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12698509.post-71603777070505557442016-06-08T20:45:12.929-07:002016-06-08T20:45:12.929-07:00Doesn't really matter the quantity of copper b...Doesn't really matter the quantity of copper bits in the vinegar. It will only dissolve as much as it can and it takes weeks to months to accomplish. And I'm not sure what proportions my friend used to mordant. You do need to simmer it though as you would with the usual mordant methods. I'll have to ask but it really isn't an exact science when done with homemade solutions anyway. You don't actually need a copper mordant. That was just an experiment!Louisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685532773952211627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12698509.post-63418450615903001182016-06-08T18:16:41.734-07:002016-06-08T18:16:41.734-07:00Thanks so much for this information.

I've been trying to figure out how to do this!<br />To make the copper mordant--Is it important to have a certain amount of copper vs vinegar?<br />About how long to soak? And then once you have the solution, do you just soak your fabric<br />in it or do you cook it?<br />Thanks,<br />TobieTobiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01804104067288875475noreply@blogger.com
