Last Sunday's natural dye class was great. Five students and we went covered over 15 different dyes. It was a busy day covering this many dyes in one day. Several people brought small skeins from home and  took home a rainbow of mini skeins.
       I spent yesterday cleaning up the studio. I pulled the overnight indigo samples out and they are darker than I think I have ever seen. I dug out a nice pile of  un-dyed skeins I have had around for a bit. I am going to use up there wonderful leftover dyes and have some natural dyed skeins out at the store. I combined our left over pots of Rabbit Brush, Marigold, and Osage Orange. I have two skeins in that pot simmering as I write this.  I can't wait to see how they turn out.  I  have two more skeins in the avocado pot and a couple in the walnut.

I am posting some picks of our samples. The top one is all the fun colors I got from Avocado skins. The center shows some of the amazing blue/turquoise from red cabbage, as well as osage orange and cochineal.The bottom one  shows  the red onion greens that are always one of my favorites.
