cochineal, lac, logwood, mordants.
Nuts & Bark
Nuts and tree bark have been providing humans with a natural dye for centuries. They also offer a natural source of tannins for cellulose dyeing. We use sustainably foraged materials with utilizing tree bark, but also locally we're surrounded by a plethora of nut trees! We take advantage of that every year

Logwood, walnut, chestnut, oak gall
Locally Foraged
Some of the plants, trees, weeds and nuts we find in the forests and roadside ditches are the very same plants our ancestors used to dye fibers long ago.

walnut, mullein, goldenrod, pokeberry weed
Methods
Stove Top
Dyestuff prepared on the stove top allows me to slowly heat and cool the materials and let it sit in the pot overnight to release all the pigments. The process is repeated once I add the fibers. This allows for a complete absorption of the color into the wool for a strong colorfast hold. ​
Solar
The ultimate eco-friendly way to dye fiber! Put freshly picked dyestuff in the jar evenly dispersed around the yarn. Fill with hot water and set on the fence post! I try to make sure the spot they sit in will get all the sun our little knob has to offer in a day. You need a hot sunny day for this so I try and have the posts filled all summer long
Slow Heat
Using large pans and warmers similar to the acid dye community, I dye large lots of fiber this way. It allows for a consistent allover heat as well as allowing me to layer in dyestuffs for a multi dimensional look.
