Wild (Garnet) Pfau and Manilla Envelope aka Camel Indio Hemp

There are things that seem easy at first, but the result can be so unpredictable that in the end they`re not easy at all...
Lovely Spanish mama sent me her Garnet Pfau to be stripped and dyed. So, stripping WAS easy. Then, as she wasn`t really sure what colour he wanted for it to be dyed, I suggested something light, like delicate chocolatey brown, as she wanted to keep the contrast. It appealed to her, so the birds took a plunge.
And they came out walnut-y brown with light chocolate hue. It is really hard to describe the colour, but it reminds me of coffee latte with chocolate and caramel, as the linen`s golden/brass thread is quite distinguishable.
Well, I hope it`ll appeal to Charo more when she sees it in person!I can totally see her using this wrap though)





Then goes a natty hemp indio that I dyed naturally according to the wish of another mama, this time a British one:) She envisioned a camel/teddy bear/light biscuit colour and acquiring it was, in spite of the first impression, quite of a task! Alas, I think I did it, as the hempy is already back home, tortured and molested to restore its` previous floppy condition:)
