North Peace Spinners' and Weavers' summer dye retreat at Mary's cabin on Charlie Lake.  Three glorious days of dyeing, using propane stoves, due to the ban on open fires.  Mostly nature dyes, such as cutch, rhubarb leaves, rooibos/green tea leaves, etc. and some commercial dyes.  Wool fabric and pin woven wool squares were also dyed.
