We have just completed another round of dyeing and the fiber is hanging on the drying line. I feel satisfied. And looking forward to spinning some of it.
We made stock of:
madder
logwood (labeled as grey but I suspect it is purple)
balck walnut
and mixtures of all 3.
We also tried three different dyeing techniques: dunking, marbled, and hand painted.
Photos coming soon.

I'm excited to see the natural dyes! What do you use to set them?
