Spin and Dye - New Found Hobby! If you didn't get a chance to stop by and watch Mrs. Le land Hardy operate her spin ning wheel at the County Fair last week you missed one of the highlights of the Fair. Mrs Hardy, the former Patricia Peck, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Har old. Peck, has made some as tounding discoveries in her veg etable dyeing efforts that led tQ her exciting new hobby. - She first made the acquaint ances of several charming older ladies who enjoyed this past time. From them she learned how to vegetable dye yarns. The black lichens on the rocks in eastern Oregon are treated in an ammonia solution. The longer the are soaked, the pinker they dye the yarn. Onion skins will dye it orange, rhododendrons a lovely dark green; purple fusch las, a green; beets a disappoint ing yellow; rose hips, beige; golden rod beautiful yellow; camas roots, purple. She tries many kinds of leaves, roots and flowers to get the colors she wants. The yarn is first washed and boiled. She says it is safe to boil the yarn If you don't change the water temperature. It must be treated to a Mor dant process so that it will ac cept the dye. As she dyed, her Interest grew in spinning. Her hand some spinning wheel came as a kit from New Zealand. She assembled and refinished the spinning wheel herself. She has ohy been operating it for about three months. But operate it she did. As she pinched off the wool and strung it into the mahine, she' visited with friends who stopped by to watch. She says she does it by feel and not by looking. She takes it off the spindle into skeins which are then ready to' be washed and dyed. She buys the raw wool. She enlists the aid of her daughters Tami and Danita in picking and carding. This eliminates the fockleburs from the wool. She has many opportunities to sell her dyed balls of yarn but ehe is going to make a room size rug for herself. The drap eries in her home are a Wil liamsburg reproduction. The rug whether she knits, chochets or hooks it, will be In the same prowns, golds or greens. DRESSED IN THE fashion of early American spinning days. Mrs. Leland Hardy spins away at a nobby that is last gaining pop ularity in today's world. First the wool is picked, daughter Tami center and then it is carded. Danita, left. Theirs was a Blue Ribbon booth. She says the black fleeces with white in it can be dyed for beautiful heathers. ' Mrs. Hardy graduated from Oregon State in Home Ec. She says she always liked chemis try but this is "a thousand times more fun". The family now lives at Jefferson. 4-H Agriculture 4-H Livestock Judging Contest There were six teams on hand Tuesday afternoon for the 4-H Livestock Judging team.
