My shop update will be live on Thursday, July 26th at 10 a.m. ET. Look for lots of yarn and a small release of naturally dyed, organic cotton gauze headscarves/kerchiefs as well!
My girls and I packaged a bunch of black hollyhock seeds from our garden yesterday, and I’ll be enclosing a packet of them in each order until I run out as a small “thank you” for all your support of my shop. They are biennials, and if you plant them now, you should get flowers next summer! Mine are self sowing now, with new plants popping up nicely. You might try direct sowing, rather than starting in smaller pots or flats.
p.s. Larkspur thought this photograph would look better with a fawn in it. 🙂
Love your posts Ginny!! Your amazing yarn colors, your beautiful photos that capture our hearts for the beauty of the simple things in life!!
Can’t wait to be able to order my head scarf.
You are building s beautiful life and memories for all.
I am a natural dyer, but have only started this year. I am REALLY interested in how you are getting the multicolored and striping with natural dyes. Do you have a resource I can use to try it myself? Thanks!
Hi Stacey! It’s a combination of techniques that I came up with myself, so I’m sorry but I can’t point you to any particular resources. Maybe someday I’ll have time to share details!
When I see your beautiful yarn I wish that I knitted/crochet, I have tried so many times but I much prefer sewing.
Such beautiful colors, especially for summer time!
You are so gifted, Ginny! I can’t even believe what you do with natural dyes and yarn. I love them all!
God bless you,
Michele
Again you used the lovely plate….you probably know, but the plate is Johnson brothers “Fruit Sampler” pattern, made and marketed starting in the 1960’s. That pattern was my choice of “everyday dishes” when I was first married in 1966. It was purchased at Marshall Fields in the suburbs of Chicago.
The plate brings back many memories. All that is left of my “Fruit Sampler” is a tea pot, a bit leaky, too, sadly.
Now, mother of two, grandmother of two, living in eastern West Virginia, and married ( for 31 years to a Roman Catholic Priest). We are converts from the Episcopal Church. We did live in Virginia for many years.
I enjoy your blog, and all the lovely things you do with your family.
Beautiful yarn!
