I have not dyed this summer. And I’ll not be dyeing this autumn either. Why all this lack of dyeing? What’s going on?

My dyeing education began in 1973 when I worked in a costume shop at my college. By 1985 I had set up a dye shop in my home dyeing fabric for clothing. Soon I was dyeing fabric for quilt makers and my students when I became a peripatetic teacher in the early 90’s. (Gad! I’m old!)

But now my travel and teaching schedule is reduced to once, maybe twice a year. I don’t need to dye fabric or threads for my students. My personal stash of hand-dyed fabric is stacked high. And my threads use to create art runneth over. So, no. I’m dyeing for you anymore.

So this is your fair warning. I’m not replenishing the threads available for sale on the Artfabrik website. Once the thread size or colorway sells out there shall be no more.

Now is your chance to add beautiful hand-dyed threads to your stash before they are gone. And to get you motivated to stitch, I’ll include a free skein of thread (my choice of color and size) with any purchase over $100.
