random fact: humans have been dyeing yarn / fibers for 36,000 years at least.

.. Is what I would say if I were anywhere near ready to launch my brick-and-mortar store.Instead, at this phase in my planning, I am getting ready to craft kits of hand-knitted items. I will be selling these online, and at the Catalyst art cooperative on Ustick in Boise. I’m going to start...
The many uses of Broomcorn (Sorghum): "..In Nigeria, the pulverized red leaf-sheaths of sorghum have been used to dye leather, while in Algeria, sorghum has been used to dye wool. In India, the panicle stalks are used as bristles for brooms."

Night 9 #ChemKnitsChanukah
There were 3 bonus nights this year (two extra full skein options and tomorrow there will be a wrap up/bloopers/extras video). I only got one of the full sized colours so this is the last one I'm going to post a picture for!
This yarn has yak in it, so it's soft, but also very hard to figure out what it will look like when it's wet! So the testers were dyed with a "canary" skein of white and it was a really interesting video.

Snow dyeing in progress. ❄️
The goldenrod blooms and that means I can dye wool again! And this time I think I'm gonna sell the yarn. An example of how it will turn out in the photo. Only question is: How big is the interest and what quality of yarn should I get? Poll in the answer.
