Marcail and I are combining our efforts this year for the Art Farm exhibit to benefit the Yolo Arts and Ag Project and the Yolo Land Trust. The exhibit will run from October 7-November 30.I dyed the malabrigo yarn in local wine from the Bogle Vineyard. (See the process below). Marcail invented a new stitch and made the cowl and beret above.
The beret was dyed in the second run of the wine since there was still come color tannin left after the first run was completed.
We are happy with the results. Hopefully it will bag some bucks for the affair.
Thanks for looking!

These look awesome and I love that you dyed the wool with wine! A wonderful submission for your event.
I'm going to be dyeing with black walnuts this weekend. Should be fun and I can't go wrong since brown is my favorite color!

Walnuts are easy and fun. You picked a good, sure-fire winner. Literally.
Thanks, Lee.
The garments are beautiful, and dyed with wine. I never thought of that. Where is your exhibit? We might be in the area during those exhibit dates.
The exhibit is in Woodland, CA at Gallery 625 which is located at 625 Court Street in the County administration building. The gallery is open from 8-5 on M-F. Opening reception is 11/4 from 6-9. Local wineries and local food is featured- live music and art auction. To do wine tasting and food tasting there is a fee of $20.00. It's a lot of fun.
