There were lots of lendrums for spinning....
....and knitters....
....and 3 dye pots. One each of orelopsis, annatto, and black walnut hulls!
Never having dyed anything, this was a fun adventure, but N knows a ton about natural dyeing so I learned a lot!
Did I mention there was cake too! What a perfect day....and I ended up transforming this....
....to this! (I'm thinking a 3-ply yarn with each color being one of the plies?)
***specials thanks to A for having a camera that day, letting me take pics, and then remembering to email them to me too! :)

How fun to dye and spin your very own color of yarn! I forgot that you like giraffes...did you see the one my daughter saw? Also there's a photo on my blog of our newest family member who's a week old today. Happy Birthday a wee bit late!
