Description

~ CRAYOLA BOX (Abrashed-Dyed) WOOL YARDAGE ~
“P R A I R I E
L I C H E N”
(Sold by the Piece = Fat 1/8 yard Total, Approx. 13” x 16”)
**Photos never do my Hand-Dyed Colors…Justice ~ So much Prettier in Person**
(A more subtle & softer-stroked Yellow & Taupe-Green-Gray)
One side is a “more muted” version with the colors blending softly into each other;
the other side is “richer in tone & intensity” great for outlining…perfect to use
BOTH SIDES for a broader range of effects (reversible).
*I was experimenting to come up with a sort of “dirty-yellowed” Background
and am pleasantly happy with the way this spot-dyed piece came out!
Of course I always try to think of a multitude of uses to help give my customers
some visual aids.
Reptiles also come to mind…great Lizard & Snake Skins;
Tree Frogs; Grasshoppers but also Reindeer & Prairie Lichen (hence the name).
Also such a perfect piece for dried Prairie Grass & Lichen Covered Rocks!

Note:
(only 1 Fat 1/8 yd. piece has spots of un-dissolved red dye; please buy only
if you don’t mind the ‘extra hint of color’ or don’t mind cutting around it!)
My
Crayola Box ~ Multi-Spot-Dyed
wool is dyed using a
very time consuming
“multi-spot-dye process”
that involves
several different dyes and/or dye formulas and several steps
which takes a longer time to process,
hence
the increased starting price in my listings
.
This process creates
a more
“painterly & impressionistic effect”
with more
muted overall colors and a gentle fusion & transition of the colors than with the regular Spot-Dye methods!
You will get great depth & undulations of the different colors in each loop you hook!
You can use
both sides
, one is a little darker…great for outlining & backgrounds; the other side is a little lighter…great for filling in the design…or, skies the limit!
You are bidding on 100% hand-dyed wool that has been
"multi-spot-dyed"
over either Natural or other Solid Color base wool.
The formulas I create will change with the seasons and will include a wide range of shades from light to medium and dark to rich.
I only use new, 100% wool from the finest suppliers in the wool industry.
These wools are suitable for primitive & traditional rug hooking as well as wool appliqué work.
The wool is measured PRIOR to washing, giving you a
full fat eighth yard
to work with.
The wool is felted and ready for you to use.
Each piece measures approximately 13" wide x 16” long and totals one Fat 1/8 yard after shrinkage & felting.
If you are new to rug hooking and have no other resources available, I’d be happy to cut your wool into strips on your FIRST ORDER, a
maximum
of (4 bundles or 1 yard equivalent).  However, I would be most appreciative if you would seek out your local resources for cutting (i.e. ~ friend, neighbor, guild or shop) and
use me as your last resort
so I may have the time to dye more wonderful shades of wool for your future projects!
I can cut your wool into #6 (6/32”), #8 (1/4”), or #9 (3/8”) cut strips.  Please notify me
at the time of payment
if you’ll need your wool cut & which size you would like & allow
an additional day or two
for my extra work.
Do N
ote
:
once your wool has been pre-cut into wool strips & shipped to you, it is
no longer eligible for exchange or refund
!
Also,
future orders
will need to be charged
{.50 per Fat 1/4 yard bundle or yardage equivalent}
to offset my time, as well as maintenance & repair costs for my cutter.
I do my best to post photographs that realistically represent the colors in my hand-dyed wools & velveteen fabric.
Please understand that computer monitors vary and the color representation {you personally see} may differ slightly from the original as everyone sees color differently.
If you have difficulty seeing a particular color, BE SURE to adjust your computer screen/monitor for “brightness” which can improve you seeing the colors & the subtle over & undertones of each color & variations.
In most cases, the colors in your wool/velveteen will be much more pleasing in person than what you see in the photo.  I guarantee 100% satisfaction.
Some, but not all of the “photo samples of rugs” I
may
display here are projects hooked by me & they are shown merely to demonstrate how my wool can be used in a rug project.
I
do not
copy, re-design, trace, sell or profit from any of these rugs or patterns (that are not mine) in anyway!!
My Wool comes from a smoke free home!
