🌱foraging ✨
🌱there are so many processes to natural dyeing which is fantastic as you will never be bored, never learn everything and constantly be amazed.
🌱but I do think my favourite part of the process is gathering our own dye stuffs.
🌱unlocking secret colour from your own garden and landscape connects you to the rhythm of the of land.
🌱it connects you to history and tradition. You are revealing the colours of the past, the colours your specific ancestors produced in their dye pots.
🌱celebrating the subtleties of your own local colour is the most satisfying thing… if you have never had a go and are thinking about starting your own exploration into natural dyes I urge you to dive in x

🌱The Quiraing mittens and cowl are go! 🌱Yar

🌱The Quiraing mittens and cowl are go!
🌱Yarn combinations for both patterns are available from our online shop (link in bio).
🌱Taking inspiration from the stunning Skye landscape @harveyknits designs are a joy to knit…with clear and considered instructions.
🌱Knitted with our Smuid 4 ply, a blend of Blue faced Leicester and Gotland, the double layered cowl and mittens are soft, squishy and cosy.
🌱There are 6 colour combos to choose from so something for everyone!
🌱that’s my sales pitch done! We really hope you enjoy them and thank you @harveyknits for being such an amazing designer! X

✨soft and squidgy in the cleverest design ever… it’s exciting!
