A one-page column from The Minnesota Weaver in which Connie Magoffin reports natural dyeing experiments sent in by Marge Manthei. Wool fleece and yarn were dyed with avocado peels and pits, artichokes, tangelo, orange and tangerine peels, and soaked brass, using five common mordants plus unmordanted samples. Colors range from muted wine-reds to beiges and yellow-greens. The page also carries a spinning wheel tip on reaming a ¼-inch bobbin hole with a threaded rod, and a notice on ordering Fred Gerber's book Cochineal and the Insect Dyes at a discount.
