DYEING
 
We sell single-ply mohair, silk and wool yarn in skeins, dyed with aniline, cochineal or indigo. We will also consider custom dyeing your fiber for you to your color formula on request.
     
We sell 100% Navajo Churro wool yarn in 4 oz. skeins, spun in 3 different weights.
     
Our routine Churro yarn is medium weight. The medium weight is the Churro yarn that is provided to our Navajo weavers to weave most of our Navajo rugs. Prices for it dyed are listed below.
 
We also dye and sell the following 2 different blends of single-ply yarn in 50 gram skeins:

1. 10% silk / 18% mohair / 72% wool;
2. 70% mohair / 30% wool.

We will mail you an un-dyed sample skein(s) of any of these 5 yarns:

1. the 3 weights of Churro yarn = $15/skein (4 oz.);
2. silk and mohair yarns = $10/skein (50 grams).

Price of dyed medium wt. Churro yarn

1. aniline (any color) = $22 / 4 oz. skein;
2. cochineal red = $35 / 4 oz. skein;
3. indigo blue = $30 / 4 oz. skein.
