Dyeing for future weaving

I have some colored warping yarn on order, but  meanwhile I thought I'd like to try dyeing some of the current white warping thread with some of the dyes in the freezer.

So I wound off several hanks of thread, tied them with leashes, as I did with the handspun yarn, and they're now simmering in washing soda to clean them ready to dye, while the red onion dye thaws. Pink thread should result from this enterprise.

I had to search for the washing soda, which I'd hidden behind the dyeing materials so my cleaners don't enthusiastically use it, not realizing it's raw material for art.

I wound the hanks  around clamps 18" apart, so they can work as 36" lengths for card weaving, or longer for tapestry.

I'd already done the precooking of dinner for Easter, just in case Handsome Son isn't working and we can celebrate tomorrow.

So the decks, and the time, are clear for dyeing. High time I used those supplies in the freezer. Because sooner or later I need to defrost it, before the farm market season gets under way.
