Item details

One solar dyed hand woven coaster, naturally dyed with English breakfast tea!
Would make a wonderful gift for a tea lover, who has quite enough tea for the moment but would maybe like something a little bit different : )
This hand woven coaster is part of my new collection of coasters for tea, made from yarn solar dyed with tea.This process involves soaking some high quality wool n some tea for a number of weeks in a sunny spot outside. I use alum as a mordant, and tea is also naturally rich is tannin so this fixes the tea colour in place! Then I carefully wash and dry the wool and weave it on my frame loom into coasters. This one is dyed using traditional English breakfast tea on wool, and a bamboo blend yarn warp.
Can be gently hand washed, but please do not put in the washing machine
Measures approx 10 x 9.5 excluding fringing, and 9.5 x 17 cm including it.
Wooden spoon not included!

One of the lovely things with solar dyeing is it takes time for the colour to mature, so it is a bit like waiting for an old fashioned photo to develop! I am never totally sure what the final colour with be, and always enjoy opening my dye pot to see what will emerge.
This coaster design is part of a small, limited edition series of solar dyed, woven coasters dyed with different types of tea.
