Embrace the Beauty of Natural Dyes
The colours from naturally dyed yarn are enthralling. Hand dyed yarns may be repeated but they can never be exactly the same! The natural dyeing process will depend on where the dyestuff was grown, how and when it was harvested, the fibres being dyed, and the method of application we use.
