I am enrolled in the Handwork Program at the RSC in Fair Oaks. One of the amazing things we did this summer is plant dye wool and silks. This was the second time I'd done this and love it. It was especially great doing it with such great classmates and teacher. It was a bit chaotic with all the people and wool going in and out. I didn't have as much to dye as most people though, so keeping track of mine was pretty easy. We used Osage, Brazilwood, logwood, Madder Root, Black Walnut, Cutch, Indigo, Marigold, and Coreopsis. Can't wait to do this with students and for student someday. Having there materials so rich and beautiful all from plants is beautiful. It seems to radiate that energy while you knit/crochet.
