A short article from the Minnesota Weaver's "From Woods & Fields" column giving instructions for dyeing Easter eggs with natural dyes. It covers resist materials (leaves, flowers, rubber bands, nets, labels, wax, onion skins), ways to fix them on the egg, dyebath recipes (onion skins, red cabbage, coffee, tea, beet juice), the dyeing and finishing steps, and safety notes, with sources cited. Page 2 also carries the start of a separate item, "The Rigid Heddle: Large Projects - part 2", with tips on finishing large handwoven pieces and a list of fringe and non-fringe finishes.
