YST Episode 144 Dyeing with Lichens part 1

I have started the fun project of a lichen dye pot and in today's podcast I talk a little about the history of lichen dyeing, and how and where I collected my lichens. There's also a TdF2017 update at the end of the podcast. I had four books in my spinning library to use as references for this information.  The main sources were from the same author, Karen Casselman.  The books are: Craft of the Dyer Colour from Plants and Lichens and Lichen Dyes The New Source Book both published by Dover Press. Two other books that mention dyeing with lichens are: Your Yarn Dyeing by Elsie G Davenport Natural Dyes for Spinners & Weavers by Hetty Wickens
