Well, that was pointless

So using the RIT dye was not so hard. There was a lot of babysitting the washing machine to reset dials, but that was all. The machine doesn't appear to be at all pink. Unfortunately, the fabric didn't change color either. I have a scrap of "before" to compare to "after" and they look identical.

I'm wondering what this stuff is. I knew it wasn't "100% wool," but I had assumed it was a 97/3 wool/Lycra blend; that seems pretty common as suiting. Now I'm wondering if it's totally synthetic. Time to Google "burn test for fabric," I think...

Got Medieval?

I wandered away from the Got Medieval? blog during a hiatus, and boy, what did I miss? Jaunty, an anthropomorphic vulva pilgrim's badge.

Things like this seriously tempt me to ditch Anglo-Saxon England for the High Middle Ages.
