You’ll probably remember how we all worked through Covid together—everyone isolated, but keeping so busy. And through my cow gals & ranchers I learned about Wild Rags.
In 2021 I contacted a silk company in China and ordered 70 silk Wild Rags. But because the Studio was so busy I had no time to experiment on the dyeing process.
Then, in March of 2023 we sold our farm in central New York and moved to the Oregon Coast. Depoe Bay is the Whale Watching Capital. We have our own grey whale pod that summers here in our bay feasting on kelp & raising their children, after wintering in the warmer waters off of Mexico.
I love the being by the ocean, I love the artsy/craftsy feeling of it, and I love the tie-dye. I sold Caravan Fiber Studio. And I started investing in new dyes & studying tie-dye techniques. Silk dyes up just as spectacularly as mohair! I then invested in additional silk scarf sizes, including a long version and small “Lamp Toppers.”
And so, I present to you my new company: Caravan West Silks
