Remeber that avocado dye from some time back? Meet my exclusive socks for Rose City Yarn Crawl-a dusty rose pink for the rose city. 🌹 Very limited number available. Come visit me at Ritual Dyes on Sunday, 3/9, or schedule a virtual shopping appointment with them if you can’t make it in person.

I’m so tickled with how these scrunchies turned out. They will be premiering at Ritual Dyes, Sunday March 9th for the last day of the Rose City Yarn Crawl. 100% Botanically dyed 6A Mulberry silk. If there are any left over, I’ll have them available for the ICT Yarn Crawl 3/15-3/16. #naturaldyes🌱

I did a thing that I’m proud of. I have a featured article in the most recent issue of @plymagazine.bsky.social 🥲 I seek whether or not it’s possible to dye and spin roving to match a handdyed skein of yarn. Check out the Hue issue, available now! simplecirc.com/ply-magazine... #handspinning

My favorite pair of wool socks. All made from homegrown flowers. I’ll be bringing a select number of these sock tube sock sets with me to Ritual Dyes for RCYC. Come see me Sunday, 3/9! Each sets comes with: 100g, 64st sock tube 2- 20g minis 80/20 SW Merino/Nylon #handknitsocks 🧶 #naturaldyeing

Sunday, March 9th, I’ll be at Ritual Dyes for the Rose City Yarn Crawl. I’m so excited to share all the homegrown color with everyone. We’ll have our bamboo & climate/beneficial cotton/wool socks available. Stay tuned for more sneak peeks. 🌸 #naturaldyeing 🌱 #ecoprinting #316dyestudio

What’s your favorite method for small circumference knitting? I prefer magic loop, but need to give 9” circs another go.

Friendly reminder that today is the last day to preorder our easy to spin cotton! I’m almost near capacity, but am leaving it up all day today. Pictured is a sample skein I spun short forward draft on my wheel! www.316dyestudio.com/product/preo... #handspun #handspunyarn #handspinning #handdyed

Getting a head start on dyeing up your cotton. Preorders are still open thru Saturday, 2/8! www.316dyestudio.com/product/preo... #handdyedroving #handspinning

This plane departed from Wichita. My heart aches for the friends/family aboard this flight.

Our first EVER fiber club! I thought it would be fun to dye fiber based off PLY Magazine’s mood board & receive the fiber the same time as your magazine. Details are in the listing link below. Please tag your fiber loving friends! www.316dyestudio.com/product/ply-... #handspun #handdyedfiber

Save the date! Saturday, Feb.1st, we’ll be having an in stock update on fiber. 🎉 I’ve been working diligently in the studio to stock up on multiple bases & may have even developed some fan fave yarn colorways on fiber. 🤭 #316dyestudio #handspinnersofbluesky #handspunyarn #roving #handdyedfiber

Cinder & Smoke never disappoints. ♥️🩶🤎 #handdyedfiber #spinningfiber #spinnersofbluesky #indiedyer #handspinners #wool #316dyestudio

Working on a BIG in stock fiber update. Still TBD, but shooting for around the end of the month. 🤞 #316dyestudio #handspinning #handdyedroving #handspinnersofbliesky #fiber #spinning #fiberarts 🧶

Okay, I know it’s been ALL natural dye stuff so far, but LOOK!!! Experimented botanically dyeing some silk scrunchies yesterday, and I love every design we tested. 🌸 #316dyestudio #ecoprinting #naturaldyeing #slowfashion 🧶🧵

2025 is hopefully the year of clearing out some languishing WIPs and crushing a few cool projects from stash 😎 🧶 #knitting #yearofyarnbingo2025

Welp, we’re just rolling with it. Still a pretty peachy color. I’ll show final results after they’re steamed & dried. #naturaldyeing #ecoprinting #naturaldyes #RCYC2025

My avocado dye is leaning a little more orange even though I brought up the ph to 8. 🤷‍♀️ Anyone have any thoughts? Used frozen pits/skins. #naturaldyeing #slowfashion #avocadodye
