"Home Dyeing with Natural Dyes" 1935

Here's an interesting pamphlet from the 30's. There's lots of stuff about plants and mordants and etc. It is a good resource even now. Just click on the link below:

More Fiber Storage

I sure wish I remembered where I read this tip because I owe a big thank you.  Check out this bag:

It is a blanket bag from Cleaner's Supply.  The brown fiber is some pretty alpaca (about 1 pound) from my friend, Kate, owner of Great Rock Alpaca. The bag zips closed, is rectangular for easy stacking and is ventilated on the sides. I got 12 for for about 12 dollars. In addition to clean fleece,  I'm storing all my yarn in them.  Assuming this winter ever ends, we are also going to put our winter sweaters in them for storage. This one is the smallest size available.
