Signs of Spring

The first daffodils have come into the florists' shops, the blue tits are investigating their nesting box and the robins are fighting for territories in my garden. Meanwhile, I carry on dyeing whatever I can get my hands on; yesterday this was some Oak Moss Lichen and Dyer's Broom. Both sets of skeins were mordanted, from the left, with alum, copper, alum plus tin and alum plus iron. The colours are definitely heading towards a Spring palette.
