Olive Green Plant Dyed Wool Thread/Yarn for Embroidery, Tapestry, Lucet, Tablet Weaving, Etc

This thread has been dyed olive green with onion skins and an alum mordant, over an indigo blue base. Because onion skin dye is usually rich in tannins, this may "fade" to a darker, browner green as years pass, but 6 years after this was dyed, no visible changes have taken place.

This 2-ply thread can be used for to work various types of embroidery (plies NOT separable as with DMC or similar!), weaving narrow goods, eg, tablet weaving, or tapestry, at approx. 30 ends per inch, and also for braiding techniques such as fingerloop or lucet, and other historical and modern fiber arts.
