Spinning and Dying


Here are some more pictures of the process of spinning and dying the wool used in weaving.

This may not look hard to do, but it is! With one hand she spins the wheel and with the other she feeds the wool onto the needle.




Teamwork between cousins. KK spins while Emi feeds the wool onto the needle.


Here is the natural color of the wool before dying.




Dyes come from natural plants and minerals.



The combination of certain plants change the variations of colors. Aren´t they all beautiful?!?!


(how did I manage to get two of the same pictures on? But even more importantly, how can I get this last one off??!!! ARGH!!)
