For the Dyeing for Color, intermediate badge, I learned to dye using plant and protein. I made my swatch cards. I learned to dye cotton yarn, fabric and morrino wool roving. Then, I used a drop spindle to spin the roving and I crochet a mug rug for my farmgirl thermos.
I started on 6/27/22 and finished on 6/24/25.
