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.
