a large quantity of yarrow (as much as i could cram into my old timber cruiser bag) for dyeing some linen i have stashed away, for a project i've been planning at least 2 years now. last year there was a big fire and i couldn't get out to collect anything. it is one of my favorite plants and will make a nice soft green dye if mordanted with alum and copper.
in the same area was plenty of greenthread, flush with the wet year, and it's been so long since i've had greenthread tea around the house i couldn't resist harvesting a grip to dry. they are tied into bundles that are the perfect size for a strong pot of tea.
