@KristineLVe For sure. I never would’ve expected that and I’ve been using alum for 20+ years at this point😂🤷🏼‍♀️🙈

@RachaelHerron I feel like the first book is tough to get through but sailed through all the rest and really enjoyed them.

@farwellclay This is why we are friends.

@RachaelHerron What comes immediately to mind is the embroidery done around the neckline of Mexican dresses.

@RachaelHerron I have one of her pieces and really enjoy wearing it.

I published this last week but forgot to talk about it here! This is Lila. The yarn is cormo fingering by @SincereSheep. She made my purple tie dye dreams come true with this special color we called Ube. Can you believe this is done with all natural dyes??? 💜💙

Let’s talk about fresh from the sheep yarns. @sinceresheep’s cormo is naturally dyed in a sunning range of colour. The texture was just right for this original lace pattern by @kateatherleyknits. The yarn weights next to nothing when cozied around your … https://t.co/GeGXt25A0J

@jnlbrk Oh my gosh. I’m so very sorry. Big hugs 💕

@RachaelHerron We even have it happening here in Napa. Mostly just firecrackers and the M-80 type ones not the big, pretty ones. It’s every night.

@woollythinker @kathynancygirl But if synthetic dyes were so clean and safe we wouldn’t be talking about the negative effects the effluent from dye house have on the environment or why it is important for the workers to have safe working conditions.

[Sincere Sheep @SincereSheep]

@woollythinker @kathynancygirl It’s unfortunate that there is a us vs. them mentality between natural and synthetic dyers. Both need to be respected & precautions need to be taken. There was a lot of risky behavior in natural dyeing in the 70’s & the bad rap grows out of the handbooks written at that time.

[Sincere Sheep @SincereSheep]

@NeolithicSheep Agreed. But it is misleading to act like it isn’t there. Synthetic dyes can be used safely but the dyer should use a ventilator and gloves. Also, I don’t know any natural dyers that dye at a large scale using anything other than alum and iron as a modifier.
