Dyeing Merino Wool Scarves with Weld
The past two weeks I shared with you my dyeing of Merino wool scarves with Cochineal and with Brazilwood and Weld. Today I am finishing this series by sharing with you the Merino wool scarves I have dyed with Weld. As with the previous dyes, I started with scarves woven from grey Merino wool. Dyeing them with Weld has created a beautiful chartreuse colour.
The Weld plant (Reseda luteola) grows mostly in Europe. It produces a vibrant yellow colour. (Deanster1983 who's mostly off is licensed under CC BY-ND 2.0)

Thanks for following my journey dyeing the Merino wool scarves!
