Souvenir

And it is one of the best kinds too, a wooly souvenir! My In-laws just returned from Tennessee and before they left I jokingly mentioned to my mother-in-law that if she came across any unique yarn that I would happily accept it as a present. Well, she came through. They where in a small store, where in the corner an 80something woman, Bette Raymond would spin and dye wool with natural dyes.


The label reads:
Appalacian Colors
Natural Dyes on Natural Fibers
from
'The Mustard Seed'
Studio Workshop
of
Bette Raymond
Sevierville, Tennessee

This Wool was dyed with Indigo and Osage Orange Wood, and I have almost 10 oz (two skeins) of it. I wonder what it will become...
