having a breakdown over medieval dyeing methods and the colors that can be easily made from them and how the specific shade of yellow a character of mine wears is trivially easy to dye with like eight different species despite the symbolism surrounding her being largely royal or deific, while the symbolism surrounding her counterpart is largely sacrificial or common, the face of the poor and downtrodden, and yet the only consistent color associated with her is royal purple.

Sansa Stark's Wishes: Wings.
The northern girl. Winterfell's daughter. We heard she killed the king with a spell, and afterward changed into a wolf with big leather wings like a bat, and flew out a tower window.

Carding this olive green jacob into rolags for another belt... i only have 2 ounces (60ish grams) so it's just been sitting in my stash since i dyed it this winter with old thyme from the garden. It looks a little lighter and more yellow in these pictures than it really is.
