I’ve been experimenting with bundle dyeing using natural dyes just recently. These are the four main colour ways I have come up with so far and, whilst I like them all, I think the autumnal browns and orange are my favourite. Which is yours?

A narrow woven band with a geometric pattern in red, blue and yellow is lying on a white background.

Is my hand spun yarn suitable for tablet weaving? Looks like the answer is yes. Three ply Romney yarn dyed with cochineal, genista tinctoria and Saxon blue. The pattern is a variation of the Oseberg band.

Close up view of a crocheted granny square blanket showing the border being worked. The squares are each of three contrasting colours with a white border and each has been slip stitched to the next. A wooden crochet hook lies in the top right corner, inserted into a loop on the edge of the border, ready to make the next stitch. In the bottom right corner is a ball of caramel coloured yarn which the border is currently being worked with.

A close up view of a crocheted granny square blanket showing the squares being slip stitched together. Each square has three contrasting colours and a white border and most of the seams are completed, just the vertical seam on the right needs to be finished. A wooden crochet hook lies inserted into the work at the point the seam has reached and the ball of white yarn being used for the seam lies on the blanket.

My current WIP is a granny square knee blanket. It started life as squares for a cardigan, but I think I will get more use out of a blanket, so here it is. All hand spun yarn, dyed with plant dyes many of which are from my garden.

A skein of hand spun yarn soaking in an orange dye bath.

Dried orange sulphur cosmos flowers.

Two hand spun skeins of yarn lying vertically side by side on a linen background. The left hand skein is a vibrant orange colour whilst the right hand skein appears a strong yellow.

The sulphur cosmos have produced a bumper crop this summer. This hand spun Romney yarn takes the colour very well. The skein on the left is from 50% WOF of dried flowers, on the right is the exhaust colour.

Five skeins of hand spun Romney wool lying vertically side by side on an unbleached linen cloth. The skein on the far left is a strong pink, the next skein a deep pinky red, the middle skein is lavender blue the next is a darker blue and the far right skein is yellow.

After finishing spinning the first of four Romney fleeces, I have made a start on dyeing the skeins. This first batch is dyed with cochineal, logwood and home grown coreopsis.

Made these little table cloths as gifts for my grandma and great-aunt. Vintage linen bedding from their houses, printed with leaves and flowers from my garden!

A skein of dark brown/black yarn, coiled into a ball is lying on an unbleached linen sheet. The yarn has tiny flecks of grey, here and there, and looks very soft and invitingly squishy.

The same skein of dark brown/black yarn, now twisted together, is lying vertically on the right of the picture. To the left are three more skeins, lying horizontally with one end touching the dark skein. From the top, the three skeins are a mustard yellow, light orange and a kingfisher blue. They all make a striking contrast with the dark skein.

The first skein of coloured Romney Shetland is finished. It plumped up beautifully in the final wash and is every bit as squishy as it looks. It’s going to make a great contrast for my plant dyed yarns!

Now to something completely different, a #quilt I started quite a while ago. Except for the black is all #plantdyed #linen. The needle case is a gift from a friend. It belonged to her grandaunt who was a #kibbuznik ( I think in Regba). I think she would be pleased to know it's still in use #quilting

#needlepunch and #rughooking silk crêpe and silk pongé with #madder (cut fringes in the strips of fabric) some recycled beads, in the middle a few #plantdyed silk and wool yarns #flowermaking reading and listening to audio book #thesoilofleadership #textileart

Two new shades are online - Ocean fetrahers and Dusty Blush. Both beautiful, pastel shades that complement each other and not just because they come from the same plant 😍

The past was colourful!
Today i have been sorting my #plantdyed yarn and made yarn cakes of some of the hanks,so I have at least one cake of all the colours I have, though some hanks are still in hank form, in case I want to overdye them.
(And please store your wool yarn in airtight boxes or bags!)

We are live! 🎉

We are still filling the stock and unfortunately the shop is available only in Czech, for international shipping please contact me directly and we will sort that out!

Thanks everyone and see you on the yarn side! ❤️

A knit sweater made of warm brown and green wool yarn

Loved knitting up these colors for a @jsteinpottery.bsky.social sweater. Brown yarn is dyed with black walnut, green is woad and Osage orange with a quick dip in the black walnut exhaust bath 🤎💚
Plant dyed wool really glows✨
