Here are a few slightly less obvious uses for our products. This is not a comprehensive list! Let us know about your creative uses for our products and we might add them to next year’s version of this list!

Animals:
Wool roving & yarn make some amazing handicrafts possible. Felted needle project are quite the current rage among crafters. Re-usable coffee cup sleeves in custom team or company colors are a great gift idea, are “green” and work well!

Did you know that goats can eat poison oak, ivy and sumac without any ill effects? And they love Himalayan blackberries if you have noticed your blackberry canes multiplying. Maybe you want to start a goat rental company to eradicate rashes among your neighbors. Goats will eat practically anything so supervision is definitely required!

Herbs:
Rosemary is known as a tick & mosquito repellent. We can’t guarantee it’s effect, but it smells much better than bug spray! It also adds a lovely mild smell when hung to dry in attics or other potentially musty areas.

And if Rosemary fails to repel all the mosquitoes, just rub a little bit of lavender on it to kill the itch and reduce your stress levels at the same time!

Fruit:
Pressing Apples into cider is a fun fall/winter activity. Wait for the first frost and then track down a cider press. The flavor is amazing in fresh cider!

Ready to try your hand at natural dyes? Blueberries and cherries provide a soft, fully natural dye option. Perfect for tie-dye enthusiasts or if you wanted to turn a soft cream roving into a beautiful blue or crimson yarn!
