THE COCHINEAL
SPRINKLE SCARF

This is a fun project that is quick and easy to do. The grey merino wool scarf gives a beautiful tone to the rich saturated reds and yellows from cochineal and weld. Bundle dyeing can give delightfully unexpected results. The moment you open your bundle is aways special — you might want to have a friend with a camera ready!
