Nikki and I were lucky enough to take a Natural Dyeing class with Barb Brown of www.wildgeesefibres.com last Sunday and we learned a whole bunch from her, had a hootin' good time and got to play with a generous amount of dyes and fibres! Below are some of the yarns (generously donated by Pollika yarns and Caroline Sommerfeld) and silk caps (from Barb) that we dyed.
We got to work with Madder (which is the red toned ones), Osage (which is the beautiful yellow), Lockwood, (the yummy purple) and to my squealing delight an Indigo Dye Vat! (which is the intense blue ones)
