Natural Dyeing

Naturally dyed yarns by Midge Porter Design

One of my passions is natural yarn dyeing. Using foraged and locally sourced dye ingredients I am able to produce some wonderful colours created by nature’s palette. Sources may be foliage, floral, bark, or vegetable and I am also hoping to experiment with fungal and lichen dyeing soon too.

My hand dyed yarns are available in my Etsy shop. I offer 4 ply Fingering weight, DK Double Knitting weight, Shetland Laceweight and Aran weight. Please note that all dye batches are very small and completely unique.
