4 days ago by craftsanity I really didn’t have time to take this indigo dyeing class the day before three days of vending at the Michigan Fiber Festival, but I’m glad I did. I know more than I did this morning and I love my new turquoise silk scarf. Thanks @lorievesque ! Now, it’s time to eat and resume show prep. I’ll rest in four days. : ) #michiganfiberfestival #mff #indigo #naturaldying #blue #green #yarndyeing #dye #silkdyeing #japaneseindigo #naturaldye

I snapped a few photos on my way back to the Michigan Fiber Festival where I’m vending again in the Expo Building booth 130 from 9-5. Enjoy the day! #sunflowers #boom #hopi #hopisunflower #yellow #giantblooms #tallflowers
