What do you get when you pee in a bucket, add the juice from the fruit of the prickly pear cactus, submerge a bunch of yarn, and let ferment for two weeks? You get an incredibly repulsive stinking bowl of magenta-colored yarn that upon being exposed to air and oxidizing turns a kind of bluish-grey. Interestingly the bucket without pee-pee the yarn turned out a shade of green. Lessons learned; (1) stir bucket more often so that chunky skin mold layer or whatever it was doesn’t form, (2) do not rinse this stench in John’s kitchen, (3) forget trying to use urine as a mordant. I hope whatever Caroline plans on knitting with this yarn ends up as a gift for someone, anyone else.
