Textiles and tea, Boynton greetings

 Yesterday went better, and here's Textiles and Tea, with a rug weaver who dyes his wool yarn for the weft.

These two pieces can be seen in a group show below, see right wall, near the back

avocado dyed yarn hanks

Based in London, he uses his surroundings, including houseplants,  as ideas. Weavers, you'll see wonderful clasped weft featured here, done with great precision.

One dyeing tip: use the whole avocado pit only, for the best colors. Don't boil, just gently simmer. So, that made me feel like dyeing yarn again, once I get some neutral colored roving.

I had a slow day, reading, napping, bit of knitting, and it just slid by..

Meanwhile I caught up on my poem a day, and here's one of the best, throwing the next one, by Hardy, into the shade

And Sandy Boynton has come up with a great Christmas carol.

happy day, everyone, wee fish you a good one.
