It was another good Public Knitoxication. Thank you to the Fiberists for thinking up this great event in the first place...and hosting for three years now!
Solitude Wool pledged to donate 100% of our profits from this event to support anti-racism efforts and are pleased to pool them with the Fiberists and other vendors of this event for the NFC Momentum Fund started by Karida Collins, owner of Neighborhood Fiber Company in Baltimore. We are really pleased to have this money stay in our Chesapeake Fibershed and trust NFC to do good things with it.
We calculate our profit for the weekend to be $414.98. All the Solitude Woolies agree that we will round that up to $500.
comments will be approved before showing up.
Kim's appreciation of our fabulous customers after Rhinebeck 2021
From concept to sketch to letting loose on the dye tables...wanted to share the process with you of creating our special colorway for Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival 2021.
A shot in the dark
my experience growing and using weld for natural dye. One of the best and most light fast of the local yellows, it's easy to grow if you can get seed and plant at the right time. Following is how I harvested and dyed yarn and roving.
