New new passion...boiling cauldrons ( thanks to my sister-in-law for her image of me as some white witch) of rotted fungi. I have discovered dyeing (yarn) with mushrooms etc. So far I have managed lots of golds, yellows, fawns, taupe's, browns, greens and ,amazingly, purples. It's been great fun to get up early and roam the forests looking for the mushrooms, I had no idea how many and how complex a group these were...they are everywhere once you get your eye in...dog walking will never be the same. The hat above is made completely from yarn dyed with gilled mushrooms, made for the mycologist who took us on a forage one Sunday morn...with the BBC!!
