Natural Dyes: Madder, Logwood, and Black Walnut

We have just completed another round of dyeing and the fiber is hanging on the drying line. I feel satisfied. And looking forward to spinning some of it.

We made stock of:
madder
logwood (labeled as grey but I suspect it is purple)
balck walnut
and mixtures of all 3.

We also tried three different dyeing techniques: dunking, marbled, and hand painted.

Photos coming soon.
