Pot underlay "A sheep in the vegetable garden"

When autumn comes, it's harvest festival! Potatoes, beets, carrots and other goodies directly from our soil, it's amazing! This pot underlay is a tribute to the harvest festival.

 

I have dyed white, carded wool with:

 

  • beetroot
  • carrot blast
  • red cabbage
  • peel from yellow onion
  • potato peelings

 

The white wool comes from southern Swedish mixed breed sheep.

 

Then we have the black wool that comes from Gotland sheep. It may represent the soil in which the root vegetables germinate.

 

The color process is completely natural and if you want to know more about how it works, you can read about it under the category "Manufacturing".

 

I make the wool balls by hand and there is one time consuming work. The large pot underlay consists of 244 - 257 wool balls, depending on how big they get. The small consists of about half.

 

When the balls are ready, and have dried, I sew them together with an organic cotton yarn. I use double thread to make it durable.
