I just came back from a week's vacation in New-Brunswick, along with my sister and my two nieces. We drove from Toronto . Looooots of driving.
Anyways, one of the many places we visited was the Historical Acadian Village. I've always wondered why I couldn't find antique knitting needles. Well it turns out, the Acadians were using wood needles...
Of course, they were making their own yarn...
And were using all natural plant dyes... I wish I knew what plants created each of these vibrant colours.
