Here's a shawl of which I'm quite proud. The yarn came from a Cormo sheep at Pat Cook's farm, Four Arches. She has a lovely B and B and I would recommend it if you want a stay in beautiful rural Pembroke Georgia! Pat's flock of sheep and others is kind of a rescue operation, making it even more special!
The yarn was dyed with two different dyes and one pigment. The dyes were madder for the pink color, and osage orange for the mustard shade. Indigo is not a dye, it is a pigment because is in insoluble in water and forms a physical and not a chemical bond with what is dyed.
The pattern I used is Muirburn by Anne Hansen, a variation on a Scottish hap shawl. I have been a fan of Anne's lace patterns for a long time.
