Hey
Today I head out to beautiful green Vermont to shoot my first dying video. I have borrowed my Mom's beautiful studio and I am looking forward to taking visiting my family and friends in the area.
Tenitive working title is: The Superwash Manifesto. I am so very excited to get this DVD out because now I can really showcase some of the finer points of dying and I think it will appeal to a wide range of people. In addition to a straight forward how to, I am going to show various stages of dyed yarn and the different tricks and tips that can help people understand the dye process itself a little better.
I am also thinking about making an appearance at Stitches Midwest at the end of August. I will have all my blanks, dyes, supplies and probably some of my own dyed yarn there for sale as well.
Anyways, I am off to catch my plane, I hope to see you soon!

About Me
- The Dyer
- Philosophy: For me, being an indie dyer is about being in the moment. When I am feeling creative or inspired, that's when I break out the dyes. I like the freedom of dyeing something new every time and not worrying about what I have done in the past and what I might dye tomorrow. Every day I come to the dye pot with fresh eyes . I try to create a range of colorways so that I offer skeins for different types of knitting. Even yarns that look similar can vary by one shade and it might be exactly what someone envisions for a project. What people don't always realize is nuances can greatly influence the over look and feel of a project. Another thing about the indie dyer community is that many of us are here to collaborate. This allows us to have a larger presence inthe hand dye world. We all bring something different to the table and that gives us an edge to capture the attention of the yarn world.

Hey J!
Good luck with your project. Your yarns are selling well here in the UK and I'm really missing those Green Mountains of Vermont!
