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?

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!

Just finished Twigs and Tea by Fine Frog Stitching. A cozy woodland design with lots of fun details and some really cute animal friends. This was a great cozy fall stitch - and as a tea-lover, it was perfect for me. 🧵🍵🌿
