My plan is to buy some fiber from an animal raised by a guild member, dye it with natural dyes, spin it, and knit it into mittens or a hat for myself.
So far, I have bought the fiber. Icelandic Lamb fleece.
And dyed the first part of it with some beets from our CSA box
It didn't turn out the golden color I was hoping for, more of a pinkish tan. I didn't get a picture of it yet.Next, I hope to try some carrot tops, also from our CSA box.
I can't start spinning until I finish another spinning project to make lace weight yarn out of what's left of the gorgeous wool/silk Pebble path.
