I've washed the wool with soap to remove the grease from the wool (*LOL* and some shit)
Put the wool in a pan.
Ad some colorwash and a bit water. I've used
Sailboat Bleu and Purple Twilight.
Put the pan on the stove and almost let it boil for 1 hour.
Pour off the inky water and pat dry with paper towels. Put the wool into the microwave for 5 to 10 minutes on 500 watt.
Don't know if this was necessary but after that I put some vinegar on it.
Now the water stays clear!!! You can see the color is permanent now. Keep in mind the color will be different after the process .... purple and sailboat blue becomes turquoise blue!!
My second painting is with Eggplant and the color becomes jeans blue!! Next week I'm going to felt a bag again.... I hope the color stays when I use soap during the felting process...
