I am taking a break from dyeing due to a shoulder injury. Shoulder spurs are painful and greatly discourage one from heaving wet wool around in dye pots! I should be back in operation soon. My husband is pondering a block and tackle system for me on a small scale to give me a couple more years at the dye pot. I’d be interested in hearing from folks if they have come up with a solution. My first thought was a tripod game hoist but I’ve been talked out of that!
I wanted to remind folks about Maiwa’s blog. They are a fantastic source for natural dye supplies and information if the Canadian dollar exchange is on our side. It ebbs and flows, but they have a great blog here

They do a great job of illustrating and explaining the basics. Enjoy! We are lucky to have that resource.
