In no particular order… Lichen, moss, crabapple, rose, ginger, ochre, oyster, salmon, oat, citrine, stone, coral, marigold, apple, apricot, There are plain, marls & flecks, and there are classic undyed shades too. There are small (UK 4-7) and large (UK 8-11). Everything I’ve been making is finally online now. All colour ways are dyed by hand in the studio at the bottom of my garden. I use only natural plant dyes. Don’t hang around if there’s a colour you like…I make them in the most minuscule batches. That said, I will keep adding new colours and replenish what I can in the run up to Christmas. Every order comes beautifully wrapped (if I do say so myself) and I can write a personal note if it’s a gift. Shop small business this Christmas if you can. Ps. Gone nuts for the greens this year. #thenaturaldyeworks #thenaturaldyer #thenaturaldyestudio #thenaturaldyework #ethicalchristmas #sustainablechristmas #britishwool #sockseason #socksandstocks #embracingtheseasons #housesocks #hyggehome #naturalcolour #plantdye #naturaldye

New pressed botanical cards coming to the web shop soon. In love with these small celebrations of nature & colour. Makes sense really. Two favourite things. #thenaturaldyeworks #flowerpressing

A few of my beautiful customers @water.lane Spring Fair last weekend. For every fair or market I attend, I’m gifted a box of confidence by the kindness and encouragement of my customers, new and old. Dreaming up this small business eight or so years ago, I couldn’t have wished for a lovelier group of people to support my colourful endeavours. Truthfully, the people this small brand attracts exceed my wildest hopes. And it’s this, combined with my love for the natural world that drives me forwards. Whether you buy things, book a workshop or give words of support, thank you from the bottom of my heart ♥️ #thenaturaldyeworks

I’ve had my head down these past weeks prepping for this weekend’s @water.lane Spring Fair. I’ve been wanting to try some new ideas this year so I’m excited to bring along new pressed flower cards in the most beautiful @gfsmithpapers with matching envelopes. Using colour in this way has been really enjoyable. Selecting the base colour to work best with each of the pressed garden flowers, studying colour & tone, alongside form. I hope you like them. Colour in combination is something that drives my work & has always excited me so I’m looking forward to showing you more. #thenaturaldyeworks

At it again. In 2024 I announced that I’d spend the year sewing a plant dyed running stitch around everything, after making some curtains at home. Two years & one indigo vat later and I’m about to try sewing something for TND. #índigo #indigodye #thenaturaldyeworks
