Adventures in Dyeing

Recently, several of my dyestuff plants came into season.

I did the chokecherry dye a couple of weeks ago. My boys, 3 and 5, did much of the picking.

I also picked sunflowers and and wild coreopsis for a deep yellow. In fact, I liked it enough to do two loads, of which the first was brighter than the second.

Now, I'm finished with yarns for Jack and Betsy.
