Bring the unique beauty of the natural world to your handmade knits with the Natural Dyer’s Starter Kit. Carefully curated with sustainability in mind, this kit contains all the raw materials needed to produce beautifully dyed natural yarns. Start with two natural (undyed) fiber bases—one skein of wool Osprey in color Egret and one skein of a variegated (undyed) cotton Willet. Enjoy experimenting with each of the five included natural dyes or choose to dye each skein a solid color—just imagine the possibilities!
Natural dyes offer a whole new dimension to your craft, providing an ideal outlet for working with yarn (and natural fabrics) during the warmer summer months. Want to make your fall knitting extra special? Create your own uniquely hand-dyed yarn for a handmade garment!
