this little bundle just doesn't want to dry

Actually all the little bundles I wrapped on monday night just don't seem to want to dry indoors. I can't hang them up outside because it has been way too windy and stormy this week and all the wild animals of the town I live in seem to be frantic to collect foodstuffs for winter. Hmmmm these colorful , strong smelling berry/leaf bundles would be hard to resist.

So they are on a rack in the kitchen but it is too warm to turn on the stove and too cool to open the windows. So they sit and sit and still they are not dry. I want them to be dry before I unwrap them.

I have a feeling these fabrics are going to be amazing!! A few must do things are on my to do list and then I am going to start playing with my natural dyed fabrics. It is going to be fun.

[Lowen]

love that dark teal and that gorgeous hyacinthy colour!

This might be silly, but why not drying them with a hair-dryer ?
Can't wait to see you "play" with all these fantastic colors ...

Maybe just hang them indoors instead. I can't believe how dark that teal is, amazing! Are those tiny quince slices drying? Pretty. It will be fun to see how you use all your gorgeous dyed pieces.

as much as I'm very excited to see how they are going to be once unwrapped, I think like Arounna & find that they are so gorgeous as is.
big hugs xoxo

I understand your impatience. I can't wait to see them too!

What about hanging them near your furnace or hot water tank?

Can you use the residual heat in your oven from baking? When it has cooled a little, put them on a tray inside and they will dry nicely.

or...Do you have airing cupboards in Canada? over here, there is a linen cupboard built round the hot water tank. The shelves are amde of slats with gaps. SO the ambient heat helps to finish off the drying of towels and such. (there are still plenty of people who don't own tumble dryers.) I use my airing cupboard for such things as bundles of interesting things that won't dry.

it's been awhile since i have come by and visited your place here. the new clean and simplified aesthetic suits you well. it puts more emphasis on the glorious photos you share. well done indeed :)
