Shell, you have to go to my website... www.thecapecod.net (I don't know how to underline that here, so just type it in.
dmiller, I think those skeins just sold this week at a farm craft fair I did. They were all dyed in cranberries from the bogs...the color's kinda pretty, isn't it?
I don't put individual skeins on, because I don't know how. I barter with a woman to do it....
Wacky --- put that http:// thing in front of your www.thecapecod addy, and it should work. :)
and yes -- the color on those skeins are really nice. There's something about soft colored yarn. It blends in and meshes with anything you might want to knit it, or weave it with.
Back when I was married (my ex is a weaver, spinner, croche-er(sp?), tatter of lace, and embroidery lady extroida -naire, she had me collecting berries (I worked for the forest service in Indiana roaming the hills and hollers there), so she could make dyes out of them, dye the yarn she spun, and then weave fabric out of it.
I just pick fiddle. I felt so inadequate!! :D
Your work looks really nice. :)
Paw may have a business forum here soon. Please post on it if he gets it up and running.
I just collected 3 bagfuls of lichen...there was a field of it and , being a good doo bee, I did leave acres for prosterity...I can't wait to dye it!!!
I've been drying marigolds...have about 5 pounds of them now.
I just purchased 3 books on dyeing mushrooms!!!! Oy vey...it goes on and on, doesn't it?
I just met some heritage of the pilgrims....they run a museum on the banks here....they were so excited when they saw all my yarns at the local art center... They have an iron kettle set up by the old museum house...this old woman knows EVERYTHING about dyeing this stuff!!! I can't wait to hang with her.
Wow...your wife was lucky to have you. Did she ever dye birch bark? I haven't yet, but can't wait.
I grew indigo plants and dyer's knotweed in my garden this year. My first indigo batch came out aqua, and was gorgeous. The second batch I did failed, but I think it's because I waited til October to harvest the leaves and the dye must have gone from them, I suppose....dunno.
This weekend I am going to Vermont to be with nationally renowned spinners and dyers...I will bring some lichen and cranberries...and have heaps of fun with the peops!!! I love this stuff!!!!
Thanks dmiller...for restoring my faith!!! :)
P.S. I just finished weaving a 7' shawl made with queen anne's lace, goldenrod, tansy, onions, cranberries, black eyed susan, marigolds, mullen and lilies of the valley. It will be on my website as soon as I run it down to the woman who does it for me. It's phenomenal...and there's nothing like homespun and homedyed...doncha think?
