My yarn smells like dingleberries.

My lovely friend in New Mexico gifted me some weaving yarn for my birthday.
2 skeins from www.handweavers.com/

The colors of the yarn are great and are from natural dyes.

Skein 1: Dk Bacterial Indigo
Skein 2: 2BA Osage Orange over light bacterial Indigo

Love the colors, strongly dislike the dingleberry scent.

I've decided to knit a rug with the yarn. I will be using the "short-row pinwheel" pattern from Barbara Walker's "A Fourth Treasury of Knitting Patterns"
