The Lamb's Wool carries supplies for the home dyer. We carry many Natural Dyes as well as synthetic dyes. We also carry scales for dyeing, which we know can be very hard for home dyers to locate. We have many natural color yarns in natural fibers. The Lamb's Wool also offers workshops in natural dyeing.
