Making Yarn Samples with the Women - Part 4 - Final Colours
This week, we will look at the final colours after boiling the wool with the required flower or leaf and powders for the specfied time.
Recall that
Sal de Limo - used to change the colour
Sulfate Foroso - used to change the colour (only for green colour)
Ccolpa - only for green colour
Orin - colour fixative only for blue colours (purple, etc)
Piedra Lumbre - colour fixative
Yellow (flower ccolle + piedra lumbre)
Red (cochinea powder + Sal de Limo + Piedra Lumbre)
Light Green (eucalyptus leaf + Sulfate Foroso + Ccolpa + Piedra Lumbra)
Dark Green (schilka leaf + Sulfate Foroso + Ccolpa + Piedra Lumbra)
Blue (indigo powder + Orin)
After the wool is removed from the pot, it is soaked in the Orin.
Chocolate Brown (flower ccolle + cochinea + Sal de Limo + Piedra Lumbre)
Orange (flower ccolle + a little bit of cochinea + Piedra Lumbre)
After the wool is removed from the pot, it is washed in water to remove any loose colour and then dried for a day.
