Woad is me....





So this weekend it was adventures with Woad. I found some directions online on how to process the woad and get indigo dye base. It is a very long process. As of right now I am still washing the indigo which basically means wait for it to settle take out as much of the icky water without catching the dye and adding more water. Once you have a fairly clear water the dye will be put in a pot to dry to a chalk like powder and that is the dye :-) Unfortunatly...U'm gonna need a lot more to dye to do any large amount of wool! So I gave the woad to Mia to grow back LOL. I'll make sure to post pictures of the finished product :-).
