MANDARINA-TANGERINE

It's not only kool-aid, but a fabulous dye for wool! I've had a blast dying up yarn for my flapper hats and the way the weather is turning, I can't knit fast enough to fill the orders. I'm punching up a patch of laughing pumpkin pins for The Covered Bridge Studio Tour next weekend! Photos to be posted soon. Stay tuned and keep on punchin!
