{"title":"Natural Dyes","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere's something truly special about creating color from nature. Unlike my acid-dyed yarns, this collection is dyed using natural materials, with colors derived from plants and other naturally occurring sources. Exploring the art of natural dyeing has become one of my favorite creative journeys, and each batch is an opportunity to discover the unique beauty that nature has to offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection currently features four of my favorite natural dyes: cochineal, cape jasmine, mulberry leaves, and onion skins. Each one creates its own distinctive palette, producing rich, beautiful colors that are often far more vibrant than you might expect from natural dyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs I continue experimenting with new botanical sources and techniques, this collection will continue to grow and evolve. I hope you enjoy these naturally dyed yarns as much as I enjoy creating them, and that they inspire your next handmade project with a little touch of nature's magic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"cape-jasmine","title":"Cape Jasmine","description":"\u003cp\u003eItem on demand: this product is currently out of stock. \u003cstrong\u003ePlease allow 5 extra business days for this item to ship. \u003c\/strong\u003eAll shipping is done on Tuesdays.
