Hand-dyed fiber braid dyed on hemp. One of the more famous bast fibers, hemp is growing in popularity again in recent years after spending some decades in the shadows. Hemp is a strong, hard-wearing fiber processed from a fast-growing and hardy plant, and its growing presence in the fiber arts world is well deserved! Note: This sliver came to me with a large amount of non-fiber vegetable matter (sticks and similar items) in it, most of which I removed in the course of further processing, but you may discover an occasional undesirable bit when spinning. Be warned!
Health authorities tell us that eating lots of dark leafy greens is essential for good health, but while I enjoy a good spinach salad as much as the next gal I can’t seem to get my inner twelve year old to eat the recommended amount. Can’t I just dye it instead? Photos are taken in natural light with as much color fidelity as possible, but please remember that screens vary, so from one device to another it may appear slightly different.
All my fibers are dyed in a smoke free, pet friendly home.
If you are interested in a larger quantity or would like to purchase Eat Your Greens on a different fiber base, please reach out to me! I’d be thrilled to dye up a batch to order.
