Badly Dying Yarn

I have been thinking further about how to make my materials more relevant to my project. I wanted to bring more meaning to the thread that I have been using. Here I played around with badly dying some unbleached wool. I want to use this thread that tells the story of the song in a sample. I like how this worked, but I think if I was to do it again, I would use ink over paint. The wool has absorbed the paint so the yarn has only one colour where as I would of preferred it to have more than one tone to it.
