A one-page column from the Minnesota Weaver in which Connie Magoffin reports natural dye experiments sent in by readers, using willow shoots, plantain, milkweed, chokecherries and dandelion blossoms. It gives amounts, simmering times, mordants (alum, tin, copper, chrome) and resulting colors on wool. The page also begins Peggy Dokka's series 'Metrics for Weavers', which offers tips for visualizing metric linear measurements.
