    Ghost Ranch

    Abiquiu, Nm

    Explore natural extracts, a quicker option to regular natural dyeing, that will still produce the palette of nature, always with some startling results. Using crockpots as yarn cookers, get luscious colors without any fuss. A simple color-theory review will send us back to the dye pots in successive days to overdye our primary-colored skeins of yarn to yield every color of the rainbow. Mordents will be covered. Dip it while it’s hot!

Blessings. Judith

      Raymon: I have a blanket simialr to the pink blanket. My dad's family had sheep. Every year they would gather the wool and take it to Utah Woolen mills and make beautiful wool blankets. Similar to Pendleton blankets, in many different colors. Love the turquoise jewlrey. My mom has a big beaded bag of it that I hope I get a few peices of (she's half Native American) She finds it kind of amusing that Native American prints etc. are "in" right now.

      Remigio: Way to go, Navajo Nation! Either cease-and-desist, or collect roiaetyls for the use of your name (only on quality products of which you approve, of course). Same with sports teams that use Native names as mascots. Until recently, the University of North Dakota was paying the Standing Rock Sioux annual roiaetyls to use the name Fighting Sioux , which was a win-win and a source of pride for both parties. Unfortunately for both the Tribe and the university, political correctness put an end to that.

      Ann Puzio: Hi Mary, Need to change to the waiting list for 9/13-20th. I hope this is possible.Also, going to see if I can sign up for the online class, need to check my computer. Thanks ann
