This is the second batch of fabric in the cochineal pot, still a lot of color. This is the first time that I have attempted a banana vat with the indigo. I started it yesterday and it has gotten better later in the day, today.

I am reading a painting manual from 1826 and I see why everyone lost it over cochineal because cool reds just were not that easy to come by.

In fairness, I also lose it over genuine cochineal. It is ridiculously stunning.

Handspun handdyed embroidery thread. From left to right : cochineal, cochineal overdyed with osage, cochineal overdyed with osage second bath, osage, osage modified with copper, osage modified with iron. I love how you can get so many colors with just a few natural dyes

As we prepare to face whipped up flames due to impending Santa Anas, thinking of Sandy Rodriguez's cochineal paintings of fires. Seen here: "Cochineal Pronostico — Tea Fire," which I spotted at a show in Vernon in 2018.

Winding up the yarn I naturally dyed. I used cochineal and alum to achieve this color. Feeling a little tired of winter and hoping to see more color soon! #naturaldye #knitsky #yarnsky 🧶

What's on my spineless prickly pear? Scale? Mealy bugs? Cochineal? Doesn't really look like cochineal, sadly. And....a snail...

(This is not a joke. Also, said insect dye was one of the most valuable dyes in the early modern world)
