Frog & Cast is a company that was launched by a woman named Kristina McGowan. She started this project driven by a goal to put her knitting patterns out into the world, share her works with other knitters, and inspire people to learn new things and to notice the beauty surrounding them. The site currently has a few knitting patterns available, including hats, pullovers, and a blanket.
I took my time when creating these dye samples. I gathered plenty of yellow onion skins to fill my dye pot completely. I added water to my pot, boiled the skins for 30 minutes, and allowed the skins to soak in the bath for a few days. I strained the skins from the bath and added my (pre wet) fabric. I brought the dye bath back to a boil for 30 mins with my fabric, keeping an eye on the surface making sure to release any air bubbles from the fabric. I allowed the fabric to soak in the bath overnight. This amount of time isn't necessary to achieve color results, but it is how and why my colors are so saturated.
