Very very happy with latest thread colours, a mix of old moldy cochineal (yup, really, astounding colours), madder, osage, marigold, combinations of, and various post modifiers, all 100% cotton.
The linen was sunny too! Osage over marigold (Only because the marigold was weak. So weak in fact, that it fainted on the way to the dyebath. Dyeing yellow over yellow for any reason still gives you only yellow š ), and over madder.

If you click on the photo below, you can see all the lovely nuances in these lavender ash and grape skeins. YUM.
And i’m hoping when this velvet below is dry, that’s as beautiful as i think it’s going to be!
I have two sets of some of the threads in the shop too š Edit: one set left!
Delicious everyone – though those threads from lavender ash and grape skins may just have the (subtle) edge!

As soon as i noticed all the variations, i was thrilled! “Flat” colour is so boring :). I’ve always love “variegated” threads, so much more ALIVE.
