Anne was able to attend a two day workshop indigo, from preparation to actual dyeing techniques. Needless to say we took the opportunity to dye some Clun Forest wool (batts and skeins of two ply). Anne also used cloth ranging from samples to pillow cases to socks to experiment with different resist/tying techniques.

We'll have to find a use for the collection of blue wool - not sure what, but it could certainly go into more 'Right Side of the Bed Rugs' or be combined/blended into more yarn.
