Now, let me update my findings on my Turmeric Dye. I am 100% positive that there is no way to make Turmeric colourfast. One day left in the sun and the brilliant canary yellow turned to a dusty off-white that looks like it's yellowed from age. I was so disappointed, but alas! I have a solution. I will dye those items with onion skins which I am told by many sources is an excellent yellow dye.
Above is one of my recent projects. The wool is from a small farm in Alberta that I happened to come acquainted with while I was living out there. It's called Ravenwood Farm and they're well known for their meat and own a meat shop in the village of Caroline. All their meat is 100% ethically raised and 100% tasty!
As for the yarn itself. I spun it to be a kind of lumpy bumpy art yarn which is plied with a thin single ply and a chunky/lumpy single ply... not getting into anything technical here or anything. Anyway I made a lovely toque out of it that I may wear in the winter or give away as a gift... who knows.
