Dye lot 08122025
Iron and Osage orange has been combined here to create a lovely olive shade. By adding iron to the normal Osage orange dye process, the color shifts to become a lovely more subtle shade.
Osage Orange, (Maclura pomifera) is also known as bois d’arc or hedge apple is a woody shrub found in the southeast United States. It was commonly used as wood for bows among the Osage and Comanche peoples in that area. (I have yet to find its name in either one of those languages, but would be very interested to know). The wood shavings from this tree create a strong colorfast dye. Its postulated that this shrub evolved to be dispersed by now extinct megafauna, but that theory is controversal (but fun to think about).
This yarn is 100% hand spun wool. Our “Woodland” line is a singly ply DK yarn in 200 yard skeins (182y). For the in stock products, the pictures are always of the same dye lot that you skeins will come from.
