This wool thread is a strong rusty orange, dyed with a combination of various windfall lichens abundant in the Northeast US. It is available in 50 yard hanks.

This 2-ply thread can be used for to work various types of embroidery (plies NOT separable as with DMC or similar!), weaving narrow goods (eg, tablet weaving) or tapestry at approx. 30 ends per inch), for braiding techniques such as fingerloop or lucet, and other historical and modern fiber arts.

Numerous lichens in the world produce dye, but all must be harvested only from windfall or sources that would otherwise be destroyed in order to be sustainable. These were ethically wild gathered!
