A new colorway for me, I am calling it Tree Butter.
This is acorn dyed Eastern Freisian wool. I bought the wool raw (ie really dirty) from the farmer. It is now washed, dyed, washed, picked, carded, and being spun up. I am really hoping that you like the colorway as much as I do.
From the same sheep we have Forest Champagne, it is dyed with Quaking Aspen leaves.
