I am currently dyeing 5 yards of coat weight wool a lovely shade of green. Wish me luck!

Let me know how it turns out. I have all that yellow wool to do something with. ;-)

The package lied. It said one box would do 3 yards, so I put in two boxes for five yards. It came out too light. I just re-did it with three boxes, and it's still much lighter than I'd like. If I can find enough, I'm gonna go for five boxes!

You don't happen to have a stash of yellow linen lying about do you? =)

Yellow is never my first choice of colors. I only bought the yellow wool in a moment of "going out of business" insanity. =P

I agree, but Tom decided that's what he wants for his lining. Now I just have to find it....

Should be relatively easy to find. When I first started looking for linen there was always yellow, orange, and bright pink in stock, no matter where I checked. It took me a while to find any colors that I actually wanted. =P

I'm trying to remember where I found the yellow linen that I do have. I made a yellow linen skirt a couple years back and I'm using up the scraps on my camp frau gown. I might have gotten it at Martin's when they still had a selection.
