Natural Dye Workshop













These are some of the projects our Friday knitting and spinning group worked on. It's always so much fun to get together with these women. We always have fabulous potluck food when we meet. Today we had homemade potstickers, homemade cardamom bread and Tiramisu. We used natural dyes from indigo, weld, cochineal, madder and quebracho yellow.

    (BTW - what the devil is a "potsticker"?! We Brits only know "Potnoodle"!)

  3. Wow--the stuff looks real cool. Great pictures. I'm ready to wind my first spun alpaca yarn, dyed in the indigo pot, and hope to have a scarf out of it soon!
