Today I dyed with indigo
Yarn for tablet weaving and nålbinding
And couple of Finnish iron age aprons. It’s good to have extras just in case one feels like dyeing.

What we did today:
Today I and @mervipasanen.bsky.social gave a lecture, once again, on the lady of Kirkkailanmäki dress reconstruction. The event was hosted by Lahti Historical museum, as is our reconstruction. This time we even got all three existing dresses to the same picture!
