Packs of six natural fibre fabric squares for you to enjoy

All pieces are approximately 25cm x 25cm.

The fabrics are mostly 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.

It has taken me quite a while to get here (years tbh) but I’ve finally made it to Morocco. 
Only been here a whirlwind few hours but i know it ain’t going to disappoint 🤗

Not finished my current sweater knit but I caught sight of two generous skeins of #dundaga_yarn in my stash and couldn’t help myself and wound the first one.
I bought them from Iveta @balticknitsscotland - so difficult to choose between all her glorious colour combinations!
I can’t cast on a new project till I finish t’other one (my rules) but the shades are calling me🤗

Moody skies on my walk with the bold boy this afternoon.
Lovely but I’ll be glad when the days stretch a bit further🌙

Just out of the oven. First loaves with some malted organic flour from Dorset, no less.
The chances of one of these ‘losing’ a crust before the evening is out are very high…

A few more stitches before I head out into rainy Monday.
Simple pleasures.
More to come as I’m off to meet friends and put the world to rights over coffee. 

If only we really could😣

More happy evening stitching 🙏🏻
