This is my second test of dyeing with teabags and rusty bits – here the bits were gears and I tried it for a shorter time on both cotton fabric and a bit of old lace. This time there was mainly neutral grays and blacks – no browns like the first go.
This time I tied the bundles with some white hand spun wool and let that get dyed as well. Just a small amount but I knit it up and love the kitten soft color I got!
