Texas Organic Cotton + Black Walnuts

Starting to dye 4 lbs of Texas organic cotton yarn with Texas black walnuts ( a gift from #figbeard, Thank You).

The walnuts have been ageing about 4 months in hand drawn Llano river water. The cotton will soak for about a week, and then I will see if the yarn is ready to weave some new throws.

Some new wraps and throws.
