AUTUMN 2017
We met a number of times during the autumn.
September found us with a booth at the Port Hope Fair. We were inside the Recreation Centre this year - in the gymnasium - instead of in the big Fair building.
It was certainly warmer and brighter in the gym, but we missed the Fair ambiance that was part of being in the big building.
Our display was titled " Double, Double - eh!"
in keeping with the Fair theme of "Canada - eh!"
Then in October, we met for a FAD (Fibre Arts Day) at the beginning of the month and decided to meet again on the 24th for a Nature Dye Day.
We had a wonderful time playing with dyebaths of madder, jewelweed, carrot tops, purple cabbage and day lily blooms.
Not all dyebaths were a great success, but we learned a lot from that.
All the skeins and fibre drying
Madder 1st bath
Madder 1st bath and 2 exhausts
Yarn in day lily bath - looked good until it was lifted out of the pot and then no colour remained.
Red cabbage bath
Carrot top bath
Now in November, we are looking forward to participating in "Make it Indie" on the 18th, at the Cobourg Lions' Community Centre.
