This is a lovely variegated thread that I dyed with various shades of St. John’s Wort by leaving sections of it in the dye pot for longer lengths of time. It’s the color of spring leaves as they begin to darken with the warmth of the sun. It’s soft, bright, and beautiful.

Naturally dyed sashiko thread made by hand in Sonoma County, California. Honey Folk thread is hand-dyed from a combination of ethically sourced and sustainably wild harvested botanical materials such as flowers, herbs, weeds, fallen leaves, pruned branches, berries & such. This thread is a lovely choice for visible mending, boro stitching, sashiko, hand-embroidery, cross-stitch, tassels, pom-pons, gift wrapping, & more! Uneven coloring & gentle fading is just one of the magickal characteristics of botanical dyes.
