I’ve been using art therapy as a way to balance out some of the challenges life has thrown our way lately, and while I knew I would enjoy it, I didn’t think overmuch about how it would impact my dyeing.

This collection, in a way, reflects what I’ve learned. I’ve added a toning “underpainting” to these yarns, and used a limited palette to create my fades. I’ve gone with “less is more” when it came to colour. This is quite a departure from dyeing to match my photography, where I use as many colours as it takes to recreate the tones in the inspiration image.

As a result, I found these calming to make, not just a joy to develop, but relaxing to look at. I hope you’ll find them as easy to style, and to wear, as I’m imagining they’ll be.
