I tried solar dyeing with lichen

   / @wolfdoesthething   The call of dyeing wool has finally gotten to me in the form of solar dyeing with natural dyes. Let's find out if shoving some (only vaguely identified) lichen into a jar with (unscoured and unmordanted) wool and water will result in anything other than bad smells! I'm trying three different types of lichen: usnea, ragbag, and oakmoss. Assuming I'm not wildly incorrect given my nonexistent lichen ID abilities. All foraged off the ground around my home after a very cold and windy start of the summer! Mold dyeing https://tondro.com/blog/2005/07/08/mo...
