Why that would be a whole pot of onion skins, dear. 
I originally dyed this skein of KnitPicks lace weight with marigold flowers in August while absent from blogging and took no photos of the result. Let's just say that it turned out *YELLOW* I was extited at the chemical success of my first attempt with natural dye, but knew there was no way I was ever going to make a screaming yellow lace anything. So I saved a bunch of plain old onion skins and yesterday was the day to see if I could make the yellow yarn useable.
I believe I have.
I did not stir the dye pot after adding the yarn so that there would be subtle variations in the depth of the color, and I think it worked. I will definitely try some more of this.This photo does not have the resulting color quite right. It is really a nice autumny - Williamsburgy muted gold. Definitely wearable, for me, anyway.
I can see that I will have to try some more of this.
Today's agenda included lunch with an old friend and a trip here. Purely reconnaissance, not really a shopping trip.
