On for a few more days. Highly recommended.

We had a visit from The Greater Vancouver Weavers and Spinners on Saturday.

Haunui fibre and a Marigold Dye Pot was the program for the day.

We had two raw fleeces and two washed fleeces to handle and talk about, and then an abundance of their available Top in different colours and microns. Many samples were spun!

Our Marigold Dye Bath was two pounds of
handpicked flowers from last year and gave us a lovely saturated colour.

The deer were watching and there were even a few fawn sightings.

Many thanks to Charlotte for all her flower picking and Emily for washing of the fleece! Also to the Vancouver Guild members for helping on the day and Sharon for her amazing photos.
