And then I needed green

To offset the distress I felt dying so many things purple, I had to dye some things green. Not that green is my fave or anything but it's spring and FINALLY we are getting some buds on the trees and bulbs peeking out of the dirt. I was beginning to think I might have been relocated to Antarctica without knowing it as some part of an alien master plan to take over Earth. Seems not.
And to celebrate my being left out of such an unfortunate alien re-location plan and left alone to enjoy spring, here are some green-ish scarves. All are merino felted onto silk and then dyed with kool-aid after the felting. I find that ironing the wool after the scarves are dry really helps tame down wools natural scratchy tendencies so these have turned out nice and soft and fresh. And smelling just slightly of lime.
