The Gravenstein apple leaves used to dye this thread were given to me by a dear friend. The tree fell, she cut up the wood to make spoons, and she saved two big bags of leaves for me to experiment with. This is a very special variety of apples; every year, there is a big celebration in our community.
Naturally dyed sashiko thread made by hand in Sonoma County, California. Honey Folk thread is hand-dyed from a combination of ethically sourced and sustainably wild harvested botanical materials such as flowers, herbs, weeds, fallen leaves, pruned branches, berries & such. This thread is a lovely choice for visible mending, boro stitching, sashiko, hand-embroidery, cross-stitch, tassels, pom-pons, gift wrapping, & more! Uneven coloring & gentle fading is just one of the magickal characteristics of botanical dyes.

12 yards
Sashiko thread thickness equivalent to 3 strands DMC #25
It's best to store naturally dyed thread out of constant direct sunlight as fading may occur.
