• What is your approach to farming?

    I employ no-till approaches to farming rooted in permaculture principles and regenerative agricultural practices.

  • Where do you source your fiber?

    I currently buy my undyed fiber through internet-based suppliers who offer 100% organic merino wool yarn for dyeing. Longer term, I hope to source my wool locally.

  • What is a CSA?

    At this time, the colors I produce span four color families: blues, oranges, greens, and yellows. You will not receive any true reds or purples this year, but stick with me and in a couple of years we will have beautiful reds and purples as the madder roots mature.

  • How colorfast are your dyes?

    All of the fibers are carefully scoured and mordanted before dyeing to ensure evenness of color and improve colorfastness. However, all natural dyes will fade and age with time, wear, sun exposure, and repeated washes. This is part of the beauty of working with naturally dyed fiber—it is dynamic, ever-changing. Each skein is unique and each finished garment or art piece will continue to develop its own unique character with time.

  • What mordants do you use?

    I mordant the fingering weight wool yarn with potassium aluminum sulfate and the cotton embroidery thread with aluminum acetate. This helps the color bind to the fiber and helps preserve lightfastness and colorfastness.
