Natural Dyed Cotton and is this Finger weave or Sprang or

Have been dipping some Organic Yarn that may have been predyed or premordanted. Was probably 20+ years ago purchased it. Have decided to use what have or let go to someone who will, unless have a feeling a future family member might want it (My Children might have a Child/Children).
So had a old dehydrated dye in a glass yogurt, so added some water. Found some red corn cobs in a jar, and Flowering Pear bark soaking, Started a container of tannin water, poured some indigo vat (non reduced) into a jar and dipped away.  Also on old linen vest top, painting across it. Only rinsed it once and it dried in hot sun. Not a lot of Blue in it, and sometimes yarn looks mauvish and then olivey.

I wrapped the dip dyed parts around the cone as it was a test to see if would work to make a darker yarn that needed for a hat was crocheting.




FOund some old handwoven piece son had found at a thrift store and his Grandmother bought for him many years ago. Its here and son moved away. Whats left of it as looks motheaten. Saw a You Tube vid other day on old fingerwoven weaving and belts from diff parts of world. Lithuania and Canadian Indians. Then it looks similiar to Sprang also. Wonder where the weaving started and how it was spread. they all seem crossing threads like bobbin lace weaving.
