Welcome to
THE BEAR'S DEN
In the photo to the left, you see
Winterbear sporting a jaunty hand
knit touque of handspun yarn. It is
dyed a bright red using cochineal, a
natural dye prized for its brightness
and colorfastness. The touque is in
the voyageur style: a sack with a
drawstring gathered and pushed in to
form the hat, rather than the
commonly seen watch-cap style with
a ribbed edge folded up.
These touques are available in just
about any color of mill-spun yarn,
and we can custom make one of
handspun, naturally dyed yarn if you
choose.
We offer hand dyed scarves 36" square of
100% silk. These are available in a wide
range of naturally dyed colors: cochineal
red, logwood purple, indigo blue and various
greens and yellows. $15.00 each. Pictures
are on the way, or you can
email us for
availability.  We will also try to custom-dye
to match your clothing. Due to the natural
dye process, colors are often uneven, giving
a mottled appearance which in our opinion
adds distinction to the scarf.
