You're such a hard worker, Emma! You put in long days and create wonderful things from your kitchen, to your garden to what you, thankfully, share with us ...your natural dyed, one of a kind, beautiful yarns!!! To watch your process from start to finish, is a joy. We see you plant your garden, contemplating the flowers to use in dying, then watch them placed on the yarn and rolled within. Finally, we get to witness the end result, along with you, as you unroll the skeins revealing the beautiful, unique, one of a kind skeins!!!! It must be very rewarding though I know you put in some very difficult days when things don't go according to plan. Please be proud of yourself for your hard work and the gift you have of creativity. I know your fans are!! God bless.❤❤
Hi Emma Your new yarn is so wonderful. I was mesmerised watching you place the flowers and roll them into little bundles. The results are pure alchemy 😊. I think that it is just brilliant to have grown your own dye plants and use them so effectively. So very well done. I am inspired to plan trying next year. My husband passed away in June and he was always so supportive of my playing with colour and fibre when spinning. I can feel his encouragement to help me. So thanks so much for filming all of stages of the process. It has been so inspiring. Annie B 🌞🌞
Such a gorgeous vlog 😍 honestly I can feel my nervous system just relaxing whilst I watch. Helps that I was knitting too haha so many beautiful colours of yarn you’ve created 🧶
Have you ever tried the King Arthur sourdough recipe? I make it and stick it in the fridge for a day even two before baking. What I change a little is that I shape the dough into a banaton and back in the fridge for an hour while my oven and pot preheat. Then I bake it cold from the fridge and it works really well! It avoids the temperature fluctuations and gives a bit more control over your window of opportunity for baking. That being said, yours looks amazing!!
Delicious colors. Really cool watching you use the flowers like that to dye. I wish someone would send a picture of them knitted up. Have a Lovely day . Nice seeing you back. ttfn
That pink yarn is gorgeous! Regarding proofing sourdough-I used to make sourdough bread in my younger days. I had gotten a styrofoam cooler and a socket which fit a 7 watt light bulb. I cut out a hole in the top of the cooler to just fit the socket, inserted the bulb, and turned on the bulb to warm the inside of the cooler for proofing the dough. It worked great!
The yarn turned out so pretty. Sour dough is tricky. Some days everything is just right and the loaf is great and some days.....well we try to eat it anywayy. But the challenge keeps me trying for the perfect loaf.
So pleasing, the process... and such beautiful results, totally inspired Emma! I have been growing a wee dye garden each summer for my art (living wool architectures and installations), but sometimes just not getting to use the plants beyond the daily beauty of them. I feel really inspired to use the plants I have ready now, and seize this moment....you have lit a small fire in me, thank you!
My pleasure- I don't use them all but in the next few years I'll get really good at planning what I'll need/ what I'll grow and use. Hopefully. Haha!! Thanks for watching, have fun with your dye plants!
Thanks about the hair! I usually use doves farm organic white as it’s readily available in my area. I use wholewheat Morton’s or Dove Farm, whatever I can get. I feed starter with both flours.
600gram flour 300ml warm water large pinch salt Mix together and add a glug of olive oil. Knead for 5mins, then split, roll out thinly and fry on a dry pan high heat. Makes approx 6 large flatbreads

Perfect for a hat!! It would go with everything.
It’s always interesting to watch your studio vlogs 😊
Thank you Emma it was lovely watching you create such beautiful yarns.
The Arctic knits pattern book by Weichien Chan would be perfect for your yarns IMHO, beautiful as always, loved having porridge with you!

Yay! I’ve missed your videos!!
#1. Love the hair cut.
#2 What type of flour do you generally use in your yummy looking sourdough?
#3 That dark dahlia, and botanical dyed yarn = ✨❤️!
Thanks about the hair! I usually use doves farm organic white as it’s readily available in my area. I use wholewheat Morton’s or Dove Farm, whatever I can get. I feed starter with both flours.
hot at 20 degrees Celsius?😅
In British Columbia 20 degrees C is just comfortable 🇨🇦😂
Too hot for me apparently, I can't cope!!!
Would love your flat bread recipe
