I feel like this post speaks for itself without words because there are so many pictures. Summertime is at our heels and it is full of cool fibers, good reads, and growing produce.
After failed attempts at dyeing flax (it becomes brittle and breaks) I have succumbed to undyed. The natural color is still great but I have visions of jewel tones and summery tops. I'll keep trying though.
It's hard to believe but our long awaited trip to Israel is coming up this week. I'm so excited! I haven't left the country in a while and it will be my first time with Jeff. We will be in Haifa for our good friend's wedding and then be traveling all over Israel. We even get to take a ferry to 
Jordan and go to Petra! I'm so excited yet feel like there is so much to do with this yarn business that I'm slightly overwhelmed.
But, at the end of the day we get to sit back, enjoy a home brew, and eat fresh picked wild strawberries from my in-law's back yard.
And then later I sit and read the plunder from the farm. Can you believe I got these books? Amazing.
This is an old text book all on textiles. Very interesting.
This book is all on lace and is mostly crochet with a few knits. But is seriously makes me want to take up crocheting again!
Knitted lace dress anyone? I thought so!
This one I thought was a pretty good pattern, too.
Well, that's all for now. I will have cabbage dyed silk and some sandalwood bamboo in the shop within the next couple days but then there will be a lull. A travel lull! Happy summer!
