If I've been quiet here lately, it's because I've undertaken a big move from coastal California back to my homeland in the Midwestern Prairie!
I have set to work right away discovering the natural dye plants in my immediate surroundings, and have been pleasantly overwhelmed at the variety and abundance within walking distance from my home. I am working on a sampler of my local dye palette.
First up: Pokeberry!
I dyed 2.5 oz of my 2-ply handspun, which is currently drying in the shade. I will post pictures of the brilliant crimson red when it is dry!
