These yarns were dyed using a wide range of dye stuff including buckthorn (bark, leaves & berries), lichens, lobster mushroom, alder (leaves & cones), birch leaves, meadowsweet, jewelweed, hawkweed flowers, oak (leaves & bark), goldenrod, creeping charlie, sumac berries, Japanese knotweed, teasel and rhubarb leaves. In addition, they were dyed using modifiers including vinegar, ammonia, copper and iron which greatly expands the range of colors from any given dye bath.
