So, Now that the Garden is done....

Hi All.

So you may be asking what am I supposed to be doing now? The garden is in. The seeds for next season gathered. Fiber dyed...
Well, its dyed, but it may need prepwork. Now is the time I spin and knit and crochet. The batts that were dyed are combed to remove noils and vm. Fleeces may need washing and combing.

I play with my colors now too. Blending them to get different colors. There is also dying to be done with the items I purchase such as cochaniel, logwood, osage orange, and others. The woods are yeilding mushrooms and lichens to harvest and process, as well as oak galls, pine needles and pine cones, some varieties of ferns, and some woody plants like apple and willow. Lots more color to be found.

I'm waiting on a large order of roving from Zielingers. When it arrives, I'll have LOTS to dye. Till then, I'm spinning what I card from this years harvest.

As always,

Live well and dye happy.
