OxfordKitchenYarns is where my love of wool and my love of colour meet. I've been a professional dyer since 2007 but switched from natural dyes to acid dyes in 2016.
I use British grown yarn to make sure my work is both local and sustainable and I still don't have a set colour pallet after 11 years, (if anything, moving to acid dyes has made the chance of a set colour pallet even less likely - there are too many new colour combination to explore, to get tied down to set colours.) Most skeins are one of a kind, and due to the nature of the dye process are impossible to reproduce to match at a later date.
I specialise in yarns for one skein projects, as well as multi skein, multi colour projects, such as fade work.
I live in Oxford with my family, and dyeing yarn fills the liminal space around home educating my three children. Both these vocations bring me great joy.
