I am having a lot of fun dyeing yarns to use in weaving brightly colored scarves, shawls and towels. The commercial yarns and fabrics I use to weave table runners, mug rugs, placemats, afghans and baby blankets still alllow me to make my pieces in limited editions. I am trying to rid the world of parrafin (aka petroleum) candles one at a time by making candles from natural vegetable soy wax.
