Field & Forage Yarn is an annual study in local colour. The 'Field' process starts in March, when we start traditional dye plants in the greenhouse. For eight months we tend our colour until it is ready for harvesting and drying for later dye use. The 'Forage' process occurs throughout the year as we gather invasive plant species and salvage locally available dye sorces from unlikely places. Yarn is then hand-dyed in the skein to produce the year's unique terroir of colour. To learn more about why we started the Field & Forage line, read our blog, Field & Forage Naturally Dyed Yarn: a study in colour.
The collection is created in collaboration with fibre artist, Megan Samms, on a Mule Spinner 2-Ply 100% Wool Yarn.

Due to unforeseen water infrastructure issues, we regrettably can no longer participate in AOFDs this year. We are sorry to disappoint those who planned to visit us and hope you enjoy the other great farms in our area. Please consider visiting us during our regular open hours or look for us again next year!
