Sheepish

Today I am going to mordant 1•5 K of Falkland fleece.



I have this huge stockpot which I thought was going to hold all the fleece - good job I checked because it only holds 500g. I'm bringing it to 82degC very slowly on the simmering plate in the hope that the wool doesn't felt, then it has to simmer away for 45 minutes, before cooling and rincing. Hope It wasn't the wrong decision using this stockpot for dying, I won't be able to cook with it again now. I don't think I will go into catering and I do have a smaller and more manageable pot for stock and soup.
