A natural-dye focused home for yarn lovers, spinners & slow makers
Hi friends! 💗
I’m so excited to share an update that reflects where my heart and my hands have truly been leading me: deeper into the gentle, magical world of natural dyeing.
Over the past year I’ve spent more time tending dye plants, experimenting with colour on commercial bases and handspun, playing with mordants, and studying the way fibre holds colour when it comes straight from the garden. And honestly? It feels like coming home.
So I’ve created a refreshed Ko-fi membership structure that centres exactly that: yarn dyed with plants, process-led making, and a community that enjoys learning alongside me. https://ko-fi.com/petalandpurl
🌼 Tier 1 — Studio Circle
A warm place to explore natural colour together
This tier gives you access to:
✨ Weekly livestreams — knitting focused.
🌿 Dye garden updates through the seasons
🧶 Natural-dyed colour reveals and process chats
🧵 Gentle studio check-ins + fibre Q&A
💬 Community posts and behind-the-scenes looks
Perfect if you love watching colour blossom on yarn and seeing the studio evolve week by week.
🌱 Tier 2 — The Dyer’s Notebook
Where plant colour, technique, and experimentation bloom
Includes everything in Studio Circle, plus:
📓 In-depth Dyer’s Notebook posts
🌈 Detailed notes on dye recipes, mordants, fibre results
🧶 Experiments on commercial yarn AND handspun
🌀 Spinning-for-dyeing insights
📥 Downloadable guides, checklists, and process sheets
This tier is for the curious fibre person who wants to understand why a colour turned out the way it did — and how to recreate or evolve it.
🌸 Tier 3 — The Petal & Purl Atelier
An intimate, full-access natural dye journey
Everything in Tiers 1 + 2, plus:
🎨 Monthly studio bundle (digital or physical depending on the month)
🌼 Seasonal plant-dye studies from my own garden
🧶 Exclusive early access to natural-dyed commercial yarn & handspun
🌿 Deep-dive videos + extended tutorials
✨ Behind-the-scenes of colour development and dye garden planning
This tier is for those who want to walk beside me as I grow, harvest, dye, spin, test, tweak, and refine the colours that become Petal & Purl yarns.
🍃 Why Shift Toward Natural Dyeing?
Because this is where my creative energy lives now.
Dyeing with plants is slow, grounding, experimental, and deeply rewarding. It connects garden to wool, season to colour, and community to craft in a way nothing else does.
These new Ko-fi tiers let me:
• share more process and real-time colourwork
• teach what I’m learning in a thoughtful, organized way
• support the time, materials, and garden care natural dyeing requires
• create a space where yarn lovers can explore plant-based colour together
💛 Thank You for Being Here
Whether you’re fascinated by natural dyeing, love handspun, knit socks, spin wool, garden, or simply enjoy the calm of studio life — you are part of this space.
Petal & Purl is growing into a home for plant colour, wool, and community, and I’m so grateful to share it with you.
If you’re unsure which tier fits what you want to learn or see, feel free to reach out anytime.
Here’s to colour from the garden, yarn in our hands, and the slow joy of making. 🌿💗
