Indigo, grown and hand dyed on the ranch!
This is a limited quantity item as each lot of dying can yield differing colors. This lot is made from our 100% Alpaca yarn, 2-ply worsted weight in a 200 yard skein. We also have 2, 200 yard Rustic skeins.
This is my first year growing my own indigo! I have enjoyed nurturing the plants to produce the stunning colors!
I have used the fresh leaf ice method of dying this yarn. This includes time sensitive harvesting, removing the leaves, blending the leaves in ice water and pouring over the yarn. From this point it is a matter of squeezing out indigo aerating the yarn and dipping it back in the juice over and over again. It is a process to say the least and the badge of honor is the blue hands after!
