Michele, I am all thumbs at this computer thing. I wished I could have someone who lived close be in charge of that for me. The last time I tried that thou (with a friend no less) when she had a melt down it almost went to court to try and get all my paperwork, and computer lists back. Ever since then I have keep away for the computer but too many customers wanted to be able to reach me so I am giving it a try on a small scale until I understand it more. Be brave - if I can get started you can too.

I think people would be interested in the natural stuff too. The place I got my roving at, had a woven rug made of all natural wools. I don't even think they were dyed. It was so pretty.
Blessed Be!

What I have done in the past is to teach what plants a person could grown to use in dyeing but also as a way to make extra income from the sale of those plants to dyeing stores. Also a lot of the dyeing plants also work for those of use how use them in holistic medicines. I use also the animals natural colors in many of my products and love what mother nature produces in the way of color. I am right now surrounded by consumers who have no desire to do things natures way and I thought maybe that was no longer desired. Thanks for everyone weighting in - I think I will place some on my blog or etsy site and see how it goes. Have a great day.

You should, I really think people would be interested. I remember my mom dying Easter Eggs with natural things. To a kid, the colors were funny, but I'm glad she did it.
Blessed Be!
