I'm truly and deeply in love with doing my own dye work. This was snow-dyed, which is a technique that requires ceding much of your artistic control to the process. It was a really fun reveal for me, seeing what the dye job looked like once rinsed and dried. I'm excited to play more with yarn and snow and dye together. One of the benefits of living in Interior Alaska is that I have snow available to me for at least half of the year!

This skein is made of 100% seaweed, processed in the same manner bamboo is to make rayon. It will be used on my upcoming warp "Surfacing" which is inspired by the selkie of northwestern European mythology. I love the romance of using seaweed to weave a woman who shapeshifts into a seal!
