Tea Time, created by pressing loose leaf tea directly onto the fabric.
The color develops where the leaves sit, giving each piece its own variation.

Small batch dye days start long before fabric goes into the pot.
Measuring, batching, and keeping notes are what make it possible to recreate a color — even when working with natural dyes.
This jar is walnut dye. It can produce anything from soft warm browns to deep chocolate tones depending on how the batch is run.
I’ll probably be dyeing with this next weekend.
Do you prefer lighter walnut tones or darker ones?

Kihada.
This yellow comes from wood chips — not a synthetic dye.
Same slow process, small batches, and a lot of testing to get it to this tone.
I love how it sits on Lugana — warm without going neon, soft without going flat.

Progress share 🧵✨
I just finished a very detailed section of the Extraordinary Birds SAL by Lola Crow Cross Stitch — the peacock, complete with lots of intricate backstitching. I.
I stitched this on my Beach Vibes fabric (available in my shop if you’re curious): https://etsy.me/49bJ977 It’s been such a fun base for this piece. Onward to the next section!

✨ Stitchy Advent – Day 4! ✨
From Caterpillar Cross Stitch, today brought another adorable pattern — a little robin surrounded by a wintery wreath of motifs. I’m only showing the materials since there’s no mockup available, but it’s very cute!
From Black Needle Society, I opened a piece of 14ct Wichelt Aida in “Touch of Grey.” It’s such a soft, misty grey… absolutely perfect for cozy winter stitching. ❄️🧵

✨ Stitchy Advent – Day 3! ✨
Today’s treats were gorgeous:🌲 Caterpillar Cross Stitch sent a beautiful pine-green Aida (looks like 14 or 16ct). Such a rich, wintry color!
❄️ Black Needle Society included a corner measure + floss drop featuring a lovely winter ice-skating scene. It’s not something I’ll use as a tool, but the design is so pretty—I might turn it into a little ornament.

Just a few hours in, and I can already see some color! Walnuts produce a rich brown shade, with darkness depending on the dye-to-fabric ratio. This is when I get really excited!

Here's a peek behind the scenes of my natural dye process. This giant pot is filled with walnuts. Now, we wait and see what develops. I'll keep you updated!

Get it before it's gone! These are the last of the lighter Logwood fabrics I dyed last year. The new batch doesn't have the same light grey-ish purple feel to it, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to make more. Currently in Aida, Lugana, Belfast Linen.
