Hi Robin. I like your new resolutions :) not that I made any as I always either break them or forget them!
I read your stuff on woad and I had a couple of thoughts. Woad is notoriously greedy. Elizabethan farmers went bankrupt because they did not realise this and after three or four harvests the woad failed I seem to remember. Also try Chinese Woad the yield is higher. We dug (or rather Enys did ) in a lot of organic Chicken manure last year and I although I have not been as meticulous as you in working out the details of the colour I got was good. However I am much more haphazard than you and i did not keep any records of how I dyed. Maybe that ought to be my new year resolution!
I am gad you got your Textiles Now - I was so pleased to be able to see your fabulous batiks in them
Thanks for the suggestions Helen, I too think that fertiliser made a difference as I'd put coffee dregs on mine, plus grew them in partial compost.
