[Jacob-list] Earthhues dyes

[ARTHUR PARTRIDGE]

Anybody have experience with Earthhues Dyes and Jacob wool?  I had several
skeins of gray wool from my lilac ewe.  Some skeins were pure gray and
others were mixed strands of white and gray.  Rather than knit an ugly gray
shawl, I wanted some to add some color.   I took the wool to a local dyeing
clinic run by some members of our wool group.  If lilac means blue-gray
then the cochineal dye will result in a pretty reddish-purple color.  I
need some gray from another breed of sheep to compare.  We also did Indigo
dyeing.  Gorgeous shades of blue depending on how many dips are done in the
dye pot.  I will have a beautiful shawl with a light blue border and deeper
shades of purple and crimson red plus lighter shades of red in the interior
of the shawl.  I was wondering if anyone has tips on dyeing Jacob wool or
what have you dyed and how did it turn out?
