Packs of six natural fibre fabric squares for you to enjoy

All pieces are approximately 25cm x 25cm.

The fabrics are cotton or linen and vary from heavy weight to light dressweight.

The African batiks are often cotton damask so they have a lovely texture and drape. Please be aware that the wax prints will feel stiff from wax residue. Iron between layers of scrap paper or fabric to remove excess wax and/or soak in hot water.

Many of the designs have a larger repeat so will appear differently between packs. They are mostly handpainted or handprinted so are gloriously free flowing and colourful - full of joie de vivre and asking to be used in bold ways.

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!

💚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.
