Dyer's Greenweed

I love the old name for this plant, Woadwaxen. It used to be used to make green in conjunction with Woad.




My plant is growing strongly, but it is not in flower yet, so I applied my 'house rule' that if I grow it, I can dye with it, and so I used some dried Dyer's Greenweed I bought at Wonderwool Wales to dye four skeins using my patent four skein method.  I'll harvest from my own plant later in the summer.


The sharp eyed among you may have spotted that I also have a Golden Hop. I'm going to try dyeing with that soon.
