The wool has been sitting in the colouring broth the whole day. I finally took it out, rinsed it and hung it out to dry. I am pretty pleased with the colour. Most probably it will lighten a bit when dry, but it is an even and luscius yellow.

I am sieving the onion skins into an old laundry net, put the broth back in the pot and in goes the wool. To keep the wool covered I put the laundry net with the skins in top. Now it has to heat up slowly to about 70 degree Celsius and kept there for about an hour or two.

Give me all your sweet, sweet pigments.

While the wool is in its mordanting bath at about 70 degree Celsius, the onion skins are cooking nicely.
