It was definitely a good day to dye! Some of us got together at Gloria and Ken Begay's house in Navajo, New Mexico and spent the day working with cochineal, indigo, Navajo tea, ground lichen, sage, rabbitbrush and some aniline dyes. We think we dyed about 80 skeins. I can't wait to see them in rugs! Take a look at our colorful results.

Another great social weaving day! Jennie Slick has a great start on her next small train rug. Lori Begay came by and spun some edging cord for her next project. John Sandstrom is almost done with his latest project (please send pictures, John) and Debby Terry mesmerized us with her card weaving project. I was busy with my new blending board and my hip spindle is very happy with the results. I can't wait to use the yarn, but I have to finish at least one of the projects on my looms first! The Spider Rock Girls also stopped by! Next Social Weaving event is October 14th. Please stop by!
