I am sure you could get very nice colour combinations with your naturally dyed fibres!Woolly Bitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11961632742998726155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698697238692601738.post-3316889120398451902008-10-16T13:50:00.000-07:002008-10-16T13:50:00.000-07:00It is very interesting to see what you started fro...It is very interesting to see what you started from and I think I would like to do this. If I do it will be on the drum carder - I have never got really good with the hand carders. Colour is so fascinating, and it never quite does what one expects!
