Stalks are about 8 inches long

 A - Regular stalks grown at Healing Spirits Herb Farm

B - Extra sturdy stalks grown at Healing Spirits Herb Farm

C - Regular stalks, wild-harvested in Vermont
(Limited supply of Vermont-grown stalks)
(The 2007 wild stalks are sold out and I won't have more until September 2008)

D - not for sale - Jane's personal set of 30-year-old stalks from north-central Washington State -- even thinner than the regular ones. Included here to show that well cared for, even these thin stalks last many years!

Examples of the woven ties for the bundle of yarrow stalks.

The exact ties shown here will not be available when you order; the color preferences you give will guide the choice of your tie from my more recent weaving.

The ties are woven on an inkle loom; five ties about 13 inches long come from each warping (winding of the long yarn) of the loom.

Examples of cloth pouches.

The material is remnants of futon cover material bought at the ReStore in Montpelier, Vermont. It is a wonderful store that recycles leftovers from many area businesses.

Other colors are available - ask when you order.

The pouch linings are lighter-weight fabric bought at the ReStore.

The cord ties are parts of surplus boot laces also bought there.

I no longer have leather pouch ties.
