Hello! My friend Sara does a lot of spinning and natural dyeing as well. Thought you might like to see her blog, she has a link on the left specifically for sheep/wool/spinning… http://farmama.typepad.com/

I have your blog bookmarked and it took me until today to figure out that it was always bringing me to same post, so I thought there was never anything new. But now I will be sure to check back often!

I love this idea for children with the food-safe Easter egg dye! What a great idea for kid-friendly, safe projects for dying yarns. Do you think the dye would work with fabric, too? I’m “dyeing” to try it!

This reminds me of the koolaid brown sheep yarn I dyed a horrid bright blue (berry blue color) back at Grinnell. I think that yarn is still hidden away somewhere in my attic, or at my parents’ house.

I did dig out a giant box of homespun and am now using it to make a gorgeous, lacy shawl as my hands allow (the wool is too rough for my skin sometimes).
