This one took my almost a year to knit, mostly because o had to spin and dye more yarn as I was knitting. All yarn was naturally dyed from materials I grew or gathered. Much of it was spun my me as well. 05 Dec 2025 05:15 +0000at://did:plc:7f7yijz65d7aleitksvsudqs/app.bsky.feed.post/3m77q6qpvytwihttps://bsky.app/profile/deependfirst.bsky.social/post/3lsex4ekgu22yNewly finished apron with sashiko pockets #sashiko #apron #sewsky24 Jun 2025 20:35 +0000at://did:plc:7f7yijz65d7aleitksvsudqs/app.bsky.feed.post/3lsex4ekgu22yhttps://bsky.app/profile/deependfirst.bsky.social/post/3lsd2ku74kc2hMy “studio” this afternoon. #naturaldye #silkpainting24 Jun 2025 02:31 +0000at://did:plc:7f7yijz65d7aleitksvsudqs/app.bsky.feed.post/3lsd2ku74kc2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/deependfirst.bsky.social/post/3ls76im5me22uMore natural dye experiments. #colorwheel #naturaldye #naturaldyepaint #sawtoothstar22 Jun 2025 13:31 +0000at://did:plc:7f7yijz65d7aleitksvsudqs/app.bsky.feed.post/3ls76im5me22uhttps://bsky.app/profile/deependfirst.bsky.social/post/3ls6bymmumk2aI’ve been taking #maiwa’s class Print and Paint with Natural Dyes and having a lot of fun experimenting.
