The woollen blanket I sourced for these dates from 1958!

The pieces have marks consistent with years of use, and some of them have a small hole or two. I like to think they are proof of a long and useful life which you can add to with your stitchery or felting or other creative ideas, so please accept their ‘imperfections’.

Colours in the multi-piece image are more accurate than the individual shade images.

The majority of the pieces I ‘scrunch’ dyed so the colouration is uneven. Each piece* measures at least 55cm x 40cm. Some will have a narrow dark woven stripe or two along one edge.

Unrepeatable, either in colour or texture. Unique and cherishable.

*One of the pale teal pieces has a small diagonal cut off. It measures 57cm x 43cm and the missing corner is 11cm x 5cm

 

just these pieces remain...

A mauve

J bright cobalt

I succumbed to some lovely wool threads naturally dyed by @woollenflower when I saw her last week.
Together with salvaged flowery tissue paper from a wee @asapoth purchase they make a pretty picture with another treat to self.  @porridgebrain Josie George’s new book was waiting for me when I got home 🤗

One of my favourite memories of the Outer Hebrides tour🤗

Home from tour, via @tangledgalashiels where I fleetingly caught up with lots of vendor friends. 
Didn’t hesitate over this lush shade by @caithnessyarns from Graeme’s happy sheepies!

Hooray, nearly done skeining up from my recent indigo session.

❤️Need a few close shades for a project? 

🧡Looking for colour inspiration?

💛Want to build your thread palette without buying to excess?

💚These wee gems will help. I select shades, measure, cut, twist and label them. These mini collections of stranded embroidery cottons contain 2 metres of each of six shades. If you’re a single strand stitcher like me, that’s 144 half metre lengths! 

Stranded Selections - seventeen of them - are on the Threads shelf now!

Wednesday (not a) windowsill
Found a blackbird eggshell in the garden yesterday which sparked this wee gathering of strawberry flowers and bluebells.
