Mary Flanagan Woolens Booth at International Quilt Market and Festival, Houston 2006	Our Dye Process We use dyes which are noted for superior color-fastness and wash-fastness. Our dye formulas are our own creations derived from combinations of reds, yellows, blues and black. The final appearance of our unique colors depends on the fabric it is applied to. It is only by repeating the same combinations of wools in each dye bath that consistency of color is achieved. We specialize in dyeing textured wools and we seldom dye over solid white. We are consistent in color to the best of our ability, we weigh the wool to the gram and we measure the dye to the milliliter. Dye lots may vary slightly with each dye bath due to those uncontrollable forces of nature and a little thing called chemistry that rules even our artistic world.

2007 International Quilt Market and Festival Update Our trip to Houston this fall was a great success again this year. Thank you to all of our wonderful customers and colleagues who continue to share your love of wool with us. The creative ideas for incorporating wool fabrics into your projects is inspiring. We see a great trend happening of combining fibers that takes our art work beyond the expected. Take a look at the Taking Shelter pattern in our appliqué pattern section for a wonderful example of a wool and silk project designed by BBD creations. We were thrilled and honored this year to receive the International Quilt Market Award for Best Merchandising.
