Weaving blue: When I am blue


I wove this wool blanket from yarn I dyed with indigo that I grew in my garden. There were many skeins of subtle blue's reminding me of sky's of blue that are just ahead. The blanket measures 6 feet long and 52 inches wide.

  4. How beautiful and the fact that you dye your own wool with plants from your garden is amazing. Is there anything you can't do? Happy February!
