Then I visited Buckwheat Blossom Farm from Wiscasett, Maine  and found her having her Coop worth sheep  wool dyed with indigo , a calm grey blue ,like fog on the coast .

Here you can find them on Instagram Buckwheat Blossom Farm  There is so much more to find so I recommend getting there to see for your self !
