Wool Wrapping
I steamed some more ecoprints the other day, and wrapped the cotton cloth in wool felt. The piece of felt has more color and looks more interesting than the prints!
I can't figure out what happened. Did the wool suck color out of the cotton? I'm sure there's an important discovery here; I just don't know what it is yet!
UPDATE: I just realized that the plant dyes have an affinity for protein, and wool is a protein fiber. The wool did suck all of the dye out of the cotton. So much for using wool as wrapping.
