Plant-dyer's yarn and fabric kit

This kit is designed to get you out collecting and dyeing with your local dye-plants! For me, the most exciting thing about working with plant dyes is finding and collecting the dyes themselves, whereas mordanting can be a slightly intimidating step in the process for the novice dyer. For this reason, I've put together a dye kit with all you need except dyes so that you get to do the fun bits yourself.

The kit includes:

• A comprehensive, 9-page guide covering all the essential steps and recipes you'll need to follow to use the kit to begin dyeing with natural materials
• Detailed notes on over 40 common dye plants that you may find in your local landscape
• 100g (225m) organic, non-superwash merino DK yarn, mordanted with alum
• 10gm (22m) organic, non-superwash merino DK yarn, mordanted with copper
• 10gm (22m) organic, non-superwash merino DK yarn, mordanted with iron
• 1 x 50 x 50cm piece of hemp/ silk fabric, mordanted with alum
• 1 x 50 x 50cm piece of unbleached linen gauze fabric, mordanted with alum

You can find extra skeins of alum-mordanted yarn for larger projects here.
