The Earth & Sun Collection
Today, more than ever, there is a need to foster genuine awe, wonder and gratitude for nature. Working with natural color is a unique and powerful opportunity to make this connection.
This year’s collection was created to highlight the richness of the earth and the ethereal glow of the sun in 25 plant dyed colors. I hope you love using them as much as I loved making them.
Natural dyeing is not about using nature, it is about spending time with nature, noticing and collaborating with what lives around us. This activity requires thoughtfulness, humility and gratitude, all of which permeate the color.
My Dye Garden Studio Natural Dye Kit
Our kit includes a variety of dye plants grown or gathered near my home, including madder root, weld, dyer’s chamomile, osage sawdust, black walnuts, coreopsis, and more. Also included are mordants for protein and cellulose fibers, 2 color modifiers, 2 extracts and supplies for an indigo vat, along with instructions to get you started or to share the wonderful experience of natural dyeing with children.
Order pre-mordanted yarns, silk embroidery thread, and 100% wool felt here!
