Today I am imagining a kinder and more loving world.

This was such a bright spot on my feed this morning!!

They’re such beautiful plants! I hope yours thrive!!

So glossy and gorgeous!

This might be my favorite meme of all time (devastated by her death though!).

Oh, no, we lost Hyacinth!

I’m really sorry. Watching a pet’s decline is agonizing. 😔

Thanks!!! I dyed these over a year and the colors spoke to each other so well!

Thank you so much!!

A “Match and Move” shawl with yarn I naturally dyed. The pink stripe was made with avocado; the gold was made with tango cosmos blossoms; and the gray was made with black hollyhock.

for publishing my little memoir piece! #writersky #memoir #writing

A plastic crate is filled with various skeins of yarn I naturally dyed. Dye sources ranged from cochineal (bright pinks) to tango cosmos (the yellow on the left) and coreopsis (the orange near the back). The yarn was fingering or DK weight.

Winding these beauties today. All yarn I naturally dyed myself. These range from cochineal, black hollyhock, tango cosmos and coreopsis 💕 🧶 #knitsky #yarn #naturaldye

Yes! That’s the one! And thanks so much for sharing—such a pretty color

Those are so gorgeous! What did you use to make that lavender color?

I wonder this all the time. Even places like NPR and The Atlantic take the time to ponder what he says, and I don’t understand why they try when he babbles nonsense.

It’s really easy! And a little goes a long way. I dyed 6 skeins with about a half cup of dried shells

Thank you!! Walnut dye baths create the richest color and they’re soooo easy to make!
