Freshly Dyed Wool

Tierra Wools, Chama New Mexico
This freshly dyed wool drying on racks at Tierra Wools was so vividly rich and colorful that they looked edible. Bothe acid and natural dyes are used to achieve the beautiful colors sourced from cota, cochineal and yerba de la negrita. The wool comes from sheep of the Rambouillet and Navajo-Churro breeds. These hardy sheep are raised by local ranchers in the land surrounding Los Ojos, NM (elevation 7,350’). Sheared annually, the fleeces are cleaned, and the wool is spun into yarn before the dying process begins. Tierra Wools offers classes in hand spinning, hand dying, weaving and tapestry – contact them for more information 575.756.1650.
