A difficult one Jake but I hope this works! 
Just as it says, this is 100% wool felted into Dori cord. The wool comes from New Zealand and it is felted in Nepal and dyed using plants like senna, madder and indigo.
Nepali wild Hemp, linen from India and Giant Himalayan nettle cord and thread. All in its natural colour and hand spun in Nepal.
New Zealand wool again, dyed in Nepal with Rhubarb, Pomegranate, Madder, Myrobalan and Indigo.

oh excellent choices, my fingers are itching to touch these gorgeous wool and yarns 🙂
It was beautiful, I wish I had time …
WOW such vareity! Loved this post.
I can use all of that! How far did you have to travel to find them? Hope you are managing to stay safe in this awful weather
I knew you would love it! Totnes market but there is a website I’ll post it when I get home, I’m doing a craft fair today!
Oooooo! What are you selling? We need pictures 😉
Hope it goes really well.
Here you go,enjoy, it’s beautiful stuff! We bought some linen thread and when I have time to blog about crafts you’ll see what it gets used for 🙂
Great entry Gilly , Glad you found some natural resources photograph
thanks for sharing my friend 🙂
Those are beautfiul yarns. I must say, I wouldn’t fancy hand spinning nettles, but maybe they have lost their nettli-ness by the time they get to be spun! Gorgeous soft colours too. Do you live in Devon? My son is in Plymouth. It’s a beautiful county. Sadly don’t get to visit it often enough!
I’ve missed the 100WC most of this year, which is a shame. Wish there were more hours in the day!
I’m having a great giveaway on my blog at the moment, so do pop over. All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning is leave a comment…!

Beautiful array of textures and colours, Gilly. I have always preferred natural fibres and dyes. I’m with nuvofelt … what are you selling at the craft fair? AND, pics please!
I’ll try to post about the crafts soon!
What a great interpretation. I love it!
Bless you, I really wasn’t sure it was what was meant!
Wonderful capture of Natural Resources. Great photos 😉
Wonderful post. I love it! I can’t wait to see what you make from these gorgeous resources 🙂
it is a beatiful post Gilly…i am with the others looking forward to where your creativity took you
Such rich colors, yet all found in products of the earth. Surprisingly beautiful, especially at a time of year when everything seems to be flashing in Neon!
Beautiful, and totally original, Gilly!
Thank you I’m so glad you like it!
Oh, Gilly, I’m drooling over all that beautiful yarn – it’s a good thing it’s far out of reach! Enjoy it. 🙂
Ah but they have mail order, see sorazora.com!
Oh, you temptress! 😉
Good take, Gilly.
I love your take. I saw this topic and instantly thought, “What in the heck should I post.” You didn’t have any issues coming up with something clever.
I’m itching to learn this stuff but I end-up of keeping them hiding in the box! I was envy to my Sister-Inlaw who keep sending me her artwork using this stuffs, she’s very good at it.:)
Great one Gilly,

This is so interesting, Gilly. How do you know so much about yarns and things?
Do you knit?
I used to knit years ago, I could do fair isle and aran but don’t have time now. I talked to the lovely young couple selling this yarn and thread and it really made me want to knit again 🙂
Beautiful. I used to knit but haven’t for years. Love touching good wool, though.

Absolutely works for me Gilly. Love the natural colours.
The fascinating part is the colors… great work, Gilly.
Spectacular!
