Feeling Blue Again, or, Indigo Workshop #2

Today we dyed, again!  It's such a privilege to get to guide people into the world of Indigo dyeing.  I love seeing how their yarns and fabrics turn out, and watching them experiment with different techniques is so fun.  My favorite thing, though, has got to be getting to chat with our workshop participants and learn from them as well.

Here's a little of what we did today.  If you find yourself wishing that you, too could have been a part of this workshop, then plan to join us in October for our next one!
