Beginning a new hobby or creative endeavour can be daunting, but accessing natural colour & the process of natural dyeing is easier than you might think!

“it is the absolute best explanation of the dyeing process I have ever come across.”
- GERALDINE BRADLEY, SCOTLAND
I'll always remember how it felt to learn natural dyeing for the first time
Sure, it was enthralling and exciting, but also confusing and overwhelming. There was so much information out there that it made my head swirl! I just wanted someone to show me exactly what to do and how to do it.
That's why I break things down and explain natural dye concepts in simplified, easy-to-follow steps so you can enjoy the process and the colours you achieve!
