Robertson Tartan - Part 1

Dyeing the Wool
The Robertson tartan needs three basic colors to complete. Red, navy blue and green. My green didn't turn out as dark as I would have liked but it still worked.
First I bought two pounds of merino wool roving from Amazon. It was lots cheaper to buy white than to buy it already dyed. I separated the roving into four parts. So a half a pound each. And started the process. I used Rit dye from the grocery store and got busy.
