Thanks to a natural dyeing with woad workshop offered at French General earlier this month, I have been bitten by the natural dye bug. Following are some photographs of the event. I wrote about the plant and process more extensively at Root Simple.

I wish I could attend that. I love the shades that woad produces.
ReplyDeleteIt's not until September. Time enough to plan & save up. I think you'd enjoy it, Paula.
ReplyDeleteI think "Woad" would make an excellent name for a kitten. If you, uh, happen to know any kittens in search of a name.
