Flowers in the yarn

Natural dyed yarn
Natural dyes on wool
This is the results of my wife’s first round of natural dyes she has a lot more to try including poke berry and dyers polypore. This was marigold and black beans. I love the marigold. She also tried some butternut husks from out back, but she just did a little bit to get an idea of the color. As a side note the yellow hand spun was done on a homemade supported spindle.
Marigolds were from the garden it was a mix 2.2 ounces dry and 3.3 fresh. It produced enough dye to do 3 or skeins.

Winter notes:
I just had to post this. My wife dyed some wool with tropical punch Kool aid, and is making some socks.
