Dyeing along the Way

It was when I was bored and subsequently sick for a few days in Pamplona, in the early stages of our walking the Camino di Santiago, in 2023, I thought I might try dyeing some threads with whatever I could find.

I had bought a reel of fine white mercerised crochet cotton in Burguete and so I decided to dye it with some used tea bags. I knew I would get a result – nothing exciting but something.

The tea dyed thread is the fawn colour in this section of my embroidery.
