I attended the Northcost knitterys Dye workshop with Linda Hartshorn. Linda is a local fiber artist who teaches weaving and natural dyeing. The workshop was held at Laura’s home which was perfect for this dyeing workshop.
I already knew a bit about Natural dyeing ( or dyeing from plants and animals) and have attended one of Linda's workshops previously.
The plant sources that we used were Fennel, Madder, Cochineal, Mungeet, Marigolds, and Logwood.
