Reminder that the US under both R and D administrations sent billions of dollars in weapons to Saudi Arabia, including illegal cluster munitions, to kill Yemeni kids.

Itโ€™s been a minute since I last shared some dye projects with yโ€™all. Iโ€™ve been busy with traveling, harvesting indigo plants I grew this year, and making some indigo vats to dye cloth. But donโ€™t worry - Iโ€™ll be dyeing up some new shirts this weekend!

Used a different technique on this shirt. Same dyes as the previous purple shirt, but this one really gave the watercolor effects and some amazing splits!

The Grandma/Old Lady cliche is lazy writing. Knitters have always been all ages. They were only invisible because so called womenโ€™s work was overlooked.

I had a couple who requested a matching set in shades of blues. The thing about ice dyeing is no two pieces will ever be exactly alike. For these, I used the same colors and approximate pattern.

Something new & different: a reverse. I tied up this black shirt and removed sections of dye before re-dyeing in shades of purple.
