Today in the dye studio: linen, silk, and a bit of my screenprinted cotton (that dark blob in the foreground) turning red in a glorious vat of madder root extract. #studio #NaturalDye #DyeingWithPlants #madder #FibreArts #FibreArtistsOnMastodon

I've just blocked my first person on here over natural v acrylic yarn choices.

No one has the right to dictate the type or quality of yarn another uses in their projects, not everyone has a friendly local yarn store, or can afford natural fibres, access to natural fibre yarns is a privilege of accessibility and income.

For the record, and not that it matters, my crochet mastodon was made with wool yarn made in New Brunswick.

I made my husband a crocheted mastodon

I'm pretty sure that from now on, but with some rare exceptions (dotpebbles) I will crochet toys and knit garments.

I crocheted my husband a Mastodon, learned some new techniques, did some sweary sewing together and I have to say, I'm pretty chuffed with the end result.

A photo of a hand-knit cowl that I made for my aunt a few years ago, in Rowan Kidsilk Haze yarn.
