Full description

All parts of the blackberry bush, including the thorns can be used for dyeing a range of rusty oranges to smudgy terracotta. At the Muddy House, the blackberry bushes surround an old cherry tree affectionately known as ‘The Bee Tree’, as it is home to a wild bee colony. Blackberry dye doesn’t produce a long-lasting colour and will fade over time, so wash carefully and keep out of bright sunlight.

This is a 100% carded cotton yarn, versatile with a matt finish that is ideal to use as a warp on a variety of looms including inkle and peg looms. Its smooth texture makes it easy to embroider with.

Suitable for: crochet, knitting, weaving, tapestry weaving, embroidery

Care Instructions

Fibres dyed with natural dyes should be washed in a pH neutral detergent. Bright sunlight should be avoided and if washing your products are dried outside, make sure that they are in the shade.

Our dyed yarn and fabric have been prepared carefully, going through many steps and finally having a thorough final rinse. However, there may be some excess dye residue when washed. Washing by hand will prolong the life of the colour but if you would like to machine wash please use a delicate, cool wash and rinse.
