Dye Days:
Here are some photos of the August 2008 dye days. Fantastic!

	Pamela and Kathy minding the dye pots.
	The dark red dye pot - this is from LAC, an insect from Asia.  Beautiful color! You can see how the wool absorbs it differently than the silk blend.
	This is also from an insect, the Cochineal beetle from Central America.
	Pamela is lifting fiber from the walnut hull bath.
	This dye bath is Fustic, a medium to large tree of the New World rainforests.  The lighter colored fiber is my wool, which was later dipped in Indigo to get a green.
	This is the madder dye bath - I love it!  The fiber is a silk blen.
	From left to right - indigo bamboo/wool, indigo rug wool, walnut hull bamboo, lac wool, carribean wool, cochineal wool. Aren't they fun!  It was a wonderful experience, and everyone is anxious to spin these fibers into yarn.
	Some of the pretty fibers.
