Ni bil Brasilwood (Rotholz), ampak logwood (Blauholz). Uf, kako ta nemška imena zavajajo :-( Ves čas sem bila negotova, saj sem material dobila v dar, končno pa mi je dvome razpršila Jenny Dean, za kar sem ji hvaležna. No, ne glede na ime je tisto rdečkasto žaganje dalo krasne, močne barve. Pobarvala sem kar nekaj česane volne pa tudi preje. Ko mi jih zmanjka, bom uporabila še preostalo količino žaganja. --- No, it was not Brasilwood but Logwood. I had been given the material as a present and was told its name. Ugh, the German names can be so misleading :-( I was somehow uncertain as to the real nature of the material all the time, and then it was Jenny Dean to clear my doubts - thank you Jenny! Anyhow, regardless of its name the reddish sawdust gave gorgeous intense colours. I dyed both carded wool and yarn. When I run short of it I'll use the remaining amount of the sawdust.

Joj, kako si pridna! Obcudovanja vredna- res. Sama se potresam s pepelom, ker tvojega komentarja k mojemu blogu sploh nisem videla. Pa bo skoraj letno dni mimo. No, pa vseeno ti dolgujem odgovor, tista sova je iz papirja, kupljena pa je bila na trznici v Ljubljani. Je nekaj edinstvenega, toliko bolj, ker sem jo dobila v dar od kolegice. Pa je postala moja maskota. Lepo se imej in prav lep popzdrav iz Trsta. Eva
U, tole pa so eksperimenti, ki zahtevajo ogromno časa in volje. Nikoli si ne bi mislila, da je mogoče s šentjavževko dobiti tako čudovite barve in jih s pridom uporabiti. Vem, koliko je dela z volno od samega striženja, do obdelave mastne surovine in končnega izdelka, kakršenkoli pač je. Da ne govorimo o barvanju, do tega nisem nikoli prišla. Enkrat samkrat sem poskusila in obupala.:-) Bravo!
