The Goldenrod Fiber Studio aims to make natural dyeing more accessible in the broader fiber arts community. With the resurgence in the popularity of local fiber, local color can also return in abundance with the proper resources. I hope to encourage more people to botanically dye who already to love to knit, crochet, weave, embroidery, sew, quilt, or handspin.
