Deadly Nightshade Hand-Dyed Hemp Sliver (Airships and Automata collection)
Hand-dyed hemp sliver from the Airships and Automata collection. 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!
Nightshades are a much-maligned class of plant, containing many toxic and psychoactive varieties as well as abundant delicious fruits and veggies. This colorway is in honor of the belladonna plant, famous for centuries as a poison and as a cosmetic. Deep, acrid greens alternate with bitter purples in this palette. 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.
3 oz each.
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 Deadly Nightshade on a different fiber base, please reach out to me! I’d be thrilled to dye up a batch to order.
