"use 1 pound wool to 1 pound lichen.
"Fill dye pot with cold water and crushed lichen. Bring slowly to simmer.
Simmer 2-3 hours. Leave overnight to cool. Enter wetted wool the next day.
Simmer gently to depth of color desired (1-4 hours). Leave wool in bath
until cold. Wash thoroughly."
Yields a lovely pink to purple if using umbilicaria

Now which way is that rock?
