This is my older son holding a big ball of plum colored alpaca I dyed with cherry bark, birch bark, cochineal and madder root. The goal of all my natural dyeing posts is to inspire a reader to DIY. Having said that, here's a link to the site of an experienced dyer who is producing beautiful and incredibly well-priced naturally dyed yarns: The Natural Dye Studio. (Consider not clicking the link if you're only knitting from your stash in 2007.)
