The Gardening part has now been covered. There are still a couple of spaces left for August, if you like to join the processing only part.

Woad 'Hands on' workshop - this is promising to be a really nice 2 day course. We are teaming up with Irish Seedsavers Association for this workshop combining a day of learning and planting with another day of harvesting, processing and dyeing.

I have recently been made aware of a fantastic Woad Seed strain, discovered in Tewkesbury on a cliff side by Professor Hill as a child in the 60's. He went to cultivate the plant and it has been passed around ever since. I am so delighted, that I managed to secure some Seeds to grow and save for this year. The Tewksbury strain promises more pigment and up to 5 possible harvests a year - let's put it to the test!

Basic Knowledge of Indigo or Plant dyeing of advantage, but not necessary.

This fabric is best known as the Muslin Nappy cloth and that is its original purpose.

Our Linen Fabric 'LINEN CREPE' is suitable for:

Clothing:
Summer clothing, skirts, dresses, Blouses, Shirts, scarves and shawls, children's clothes

Homeware and Crafts:
Curtains

Suggested sewing thread: Organic Cotton Light grey 4831

In a nutshell:

Material: 100% Linen
Width approx.: 145 cm
Colour: natural light beige
Weight: 130g/square meter
partly Oxygen bleached
Not pre-washed
Expected Shrinkage: 5%
Wash: 40 degrees Celcius

Environment:
Linen can be expensive, but it is also much better for the environment. Flax plants are very resilient, they can grow in poor soil, and require very little water. What’s more, every single part of the flax plant is then used in making all types of products, from linen clothing to varnishes.

Health:
Similar to silk, 100% linen is wonderful for people with sensitive skin and those prone to allergic reactions like "prickly heat" in hot weather. For women who suffer from "hot flushes", 100% linen is the most comfortable answer in warm environments.

Care:
Linen can't and shouldn't be ironed. The creasing is part of the natural allure. The creasing also molds the garment, and in practice the more creasing there is, the less evident it becomes as the whole garment softens.
Linen loves being washed and dries much quicker than Cotton. The more it is worn and washed the softer the fabric becomes. It also lasts much longer than cotton, as it is harder wearing and a much stronger material.

Naturally Dyed Wool Fleece ~ 27mic

Dyed in Germany

From Museling free farming

These beautiful fleeces have been dyed with traditionally used natural plant dyes like Indigo, Madder and Weld. Due to the dye procedure, these fleeces are already slightly felted. Therefore wet felting can be slightly challenging, but they are suitable for all other fibre applications like needle felting, spinning and more.

The colours shown on the picture are as close to the original colours as possible. Nonetheless, your screen might influence the different colour depths of the picture shown.

Cloud ~ naturally dyed using Indigo & Shibori techniques

This is a special treat, we had some left overs from a recent custom project and thought, perhaps you might like to do something with it? This is a one of a kind fabric, Irish lightweight linen spun and woven in Northern Ireland.

The clouds are created by using a shibori technique (similar to tie dye) then dyed with organic indigo. The white cloud pattern is spread widely across the entire fabric, with solid blue areas in between. Colour is a light to medium blue.

This Linen is suitable for:

Clothing:
Summer clothing, skirts, dresses, Blouses, Shirts, trousers, hats

Homeware and Crafts:
Patchwork, Quilting, home accessories and embroidery.
