Natural Dyeing is fun.




On Sept 11 the Mercer Guild will be having its annual natural dyeing meeting.  I look forward to this event every year as we gather up our natural dye plant and cook them to release their colors into our yarns and fibers for spinning.  
      This year Judy will be bringing indigo and everyone is excited to see what shades of beautiful blues can come from this dye bath.  
   I will be collecting Tansy flowers and marigolds from my garden to dye with.   We will be dyeing from 10 -2 at Munnell Run Farm for our Thursday September meeting. The public is welcome. You can bring a dye pot and join the fun.

We will be dyeing again on Sunday afternoon Sept 21 at Munnell Run Farm Day Festival see the link for more information.
