Why Natural Dyes

I am part of the Slow Fiber Movement. Celebrating natural dyes connects me to nature; gathering, growing, and harvesting dye plants is a highly gratifying endeavor. Seeing the yarn emerge from the dye pot transports me to the past by allowing me to imagine the colors my ancestors wore.

Wool Chosen with Purpose

Every yarn I dye starts with carefully sourced wool that meets my standards for traceability, animal welfare, and dye performance. I work with trusted partners:

Shaniko Wool Company — 100% RWS-certified Merino/Rambouillet from the U.S., prized for its softness, structure, and regenerative land practices.

Woolkeepers®Program (U.K.) — British Bluefaced Leicester, a lustrous, strong, and silky wool sourced through a transparent, farmer-first supply chain.

Each base offers something unique—but they’re united by quality, care, and a commitment to better systems from soil to skein.

This fantastic yarn is worth every penny. These colors are meticulously crafted and have obviously been created by someone who cares about her product's sustainability and you experience with it.

Jennifer Tipton, Knitwear designer

Emily has a wealth of knowledge and information about sustainability and an absolutely fantastic color guide made especially with fiber artists in mind.

Connie Lee Lynch, Crochetcetera

You can feel the value in how soft and squishy Emily's yarn is. I appreciate the labor she commits to naturally dying each skein. The beautiful intensity of the colors really show how much time went into each exquisite skein.
