How many LOVE Beets??? I do, I do. I love them just slowed roasted with butter, salt, pepper and Maggi on them... I also love pickled beets, beet salad and even beet cake...
For those who might not know it you can also dye with them. No, you will not get this amazing color just from beets but with a few dyeing tricks I have learned along the way you can create this amazing color with beets and a few other plants. Now don't you wished you had planted beets in the garden.
This amazing yarn will be up on Etsy by tomorrow - need the good old sun to dry the skeins out but don't wait too long because I am fighting with myself not too keep this dye lot for myself. I forgot to say this is Mohair Boucle Yarn - 100 yards per skein - price to be determined.See BEETS are GREAT!!!

I love beets too...in all the ways you mentioned..but what is Maggi???
Hi Jenny = great to read you. Maggi is a German seasoning that is great on veggies, meats, soups - I was told you can now purchase it even at walmart. It is what I was taught to cook with from the beginning.
Oh, what a beautitimuss color! I think I need to play with my dye pot and dye some more basket reed.1 Thanks for the inspiration!
