These dark winter days have me craving the colors of summer. I spent some time in my dye studio and coaxed this palette of colors out of marigolds, quebracho, madder root, and fresh leaf indigo. This little treasure box is a glimpse into my creative world - curiosity about color, delight with texture, and the deep satisfaction I feel when everything is gathered into one tidy collection.

I dyed three weights of wool (gauze, crepe, and felt), along with hemp linen and cotton gauze. I have paired the plant-dyed wool with a bright assortment of mohair/silk yarn (colors vary slightly in each box); I love the aura this yarn creates when it is used for embroidery projects. I also tucked in a pair of sharp snips covered with fresh leaf indigo-dyed wool felt, and a small assortment of pins and needles. I made a very limited quantity of these treasure boxes... they are the perfect present for your favorite stitcher or a lovely gift for yourself.

Materials are packaged in a sturdy 4.5 x 4.5 x 2" cardboard matchbox-style box that is covered in plant-dyed linen with an organic cotton/hemp patch that features a botanical design. Choose your cover design from the list of 12.
