I agree with you about the lichens. May as well collect them as have them go to waste.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698697238692601738.post-66093902525214501842012-01-16T22:31:29.497-08:002012-01-16T22:31:29.497-08:00Also hattet ihr auch so einen schlimmen Sturm.

Lots of plants give yellow, but really nice yellows are harder to find. <br />Love the new sock yarn projects. The colours you have are gorgeous. The shawl yarn sounds yummy - hand painted too? It will be a lovely finished project.Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049476969325691637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698697238692601738.post-58766246612843085112012-01-11T08:24:57.799-08:002012-01-11T08:24:57.799-08:00Cindy - gorse is one of my favourite dye materials...Cindy - gorse is one of my favourite dye materials, because it gives such lovely yellows! of course it would be even better if it didn't have those huge prickly thorns:)) <br />and the "in the pink" shawl - I am looking forward to knitting a slightly "toothier" pattern; from the drawings on ravelry it looks as if it needs a bit of concentration! ah, what the heck, it's all only k and p and yo's:))Woolly Bitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11961632742998726155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698697238692601738.post-76220562169061707402012-01-11T07:55:51.194-08:002012-01-11T07:55:51.194-08:00I have never seen gorse so very interesting to see...I have never seen gorse so very interesting to see it! You will have some good sources for your natural dyeing soon. The yarns haul is delightful-will watch for socks from this stash! The pattern for the shawl caught my eye-will be interested in your review of that knitting.Delighted Handshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01289187765260532813noreply@blogger.com
