If I had not promised a parade of FOs, I might have held off on these photos. Since that is not the case, I'll give them to you now! Last weekend I finally dyed my yarn with fusticwood, and I love the results. I know that spinners often point out that a (handspun) skein of yarn is a FO in itself, and I'm going to claim this yarn a FO because I turned it this color.
As you might recall, I was hoping to dye the yarn with blackberries. After several attempts, I just couldn't find something that excited me, and well, I think the color of the yarn should excite me. I didn't get to dye yarn with food products or things one might find if one had a big backyard, but the dye is all natural.
I liked the color so much (from my test dye) that I threw in some leftover white Dale Baby Ull as well. It came out a little bit darker.
I took pictures of the whole process and I'll post about it next week once my FO parade comes to an end!
yummy colour, I love it!

What a happy yellow! Much more vibrant than the blackberry dying.
