En kasse hvid uld - omkring 450 gram blev vasket i hårshampoo - uld er jo hår, er det ikke? Derefter bejdset i den vidunderlige gryde i 20 % alun.
Så blev Ugleungerne sendt ud efter farveplanter, Spirillen cyklede omegnen tynd efter lugtløse kamiller, og Piraten og Minimax ribbede det gamle valnøddetræ for dets blade. Uglemor bevæbnede sig med kurv og rosensaks og plukkede perikon og mørkerøde stokroseblomster. Og så blev der farvet.

After seeing carpets woven from unspun - even uncarded - wool - I have been wanting to try this out. But I would not be MotherOwl if I did not think of ways of not just copying the project. It's dyeing season, all the plants stand ready. We had to try.A crate of white wool (450 g.) was washed in shampoo - it is hair after all - and mordanted with 20 % alum.
The Owlets were sent out; Marsupilami went for a bike ride, picking Scentless mayweed, Minimax and the Pirate picked all the leaves from the cut down walnut, MotherOwl grabbed the garden scissors and picked St. john's weed and dark red hollyhocks. Then the wonderful dyepot worked it's magic.
