Why Natural Dyes

I am part of the Slow Fiber Movement. Celebrating natural dyes connects me to nature; gathering, growing, and harvesting dye plants is a highly gratifying endeavor. Seeing the yarn emerge from the dye pot transports me to the past by allowing me to imagine the colors my ancestors wore.

Preferred Wool

Wool defined as "Preferred" includes wool sourced from sheep that have been treated responsibly, and raised with a progressive approach to land management.

This wool comes from the Shaniko Wool Co. Farm Group.
