Eco Dyeing

Spent a lovely afternoon with Sue Chard (fibre artist) learning Eco Dyeing...on silk, wool and cotton. We walked round my 5 acres collecting all sorts of old leaves, tree sap and interesting things. Including puff balls. We cooked em up and dyed a silk scarf and two t shirts. They are beautiful! I am very excited about this!
