Thanks Gail! :: Knitting.

06gail05My sweet Auntie Gail sent me a big hank of natural wool all the way from Australlia! [: It made me smile big time when I got it. I haven't really known quite the perfect project to use it for yet- but I am pretty sure I'm going to try my hand at natural dyes. The fibres in this wool are so perfect and soft and natural I think it will take nicely.06gail04 06gail03Photographed alongside a book about 'The Natural Knitter' from a charity shop and 'Spinning & Dyeing' from the library. It is a favourite passtime of mine to sit in the college library and read books about dyeing, spinning, weaving, embroidery, knitting... all sorts.06gail02 06gail01There are a few things I need to set up before I can start dyeing, so that will probably happen after Renegade. Can't wait to see the colours coming from plants and roots and flowers. :] <3
