Earth Gatherings
A quiet palette, gathered close to the ground before anything blooms.
Before the bloom, there is a quieter season—when color is drawn from what has already fallen, softened, or been left behind.
Exhausted dyebaths, gathered materials, and layered processes come together to create colors that are not immediate, but slowly revealed over time.
This collection is built from that space.
Before the Bloom
softly layered, slowly revealed
These colors are made slowly, over time.
Black walnut husks left to break down over time. Fallen bark, spent flowers, leaves, and mushrooms—each contributing subtle shifts in tone, shaped further through iron, pH changes, and the repeated use of the same dyebath.
The palette moves through soft clay, weathered pinks, muted greens, mineral blues, and soft neutrals—colors that feel grounded, worn in, and quietly complex.
Some skeins were planned. Others came together later—dyed at different moments and recognized as part of the same story.
A collection about what remains—and what can still be made from it.
From the Forest Floor
A different expression of the same landscape—gathered in color, rather than held in a single tone.
These mini skein sets were dyed in an earlier season, using foraged mushrooms, bark, and plant matter gathered close to the ground. Each set brings together five to six distinct colors, arranged in conversation—soft shifts, quiet contrasts, and subtle movement across the palette.
Where Before the Bloom is quiet and resolved within a single skein,
From the Forest Floor opens outward—holding multiple tones at once, allowing the full range of the materials to be seen together.
Not separate, but earlier—a more immediate expression of the same landscape, before it settles into stillness.
Each set can be worked as a gradient, a quiet study in contrast, or simply held—allowing the full palette to unfold in your hands.

The colors gathered here now live together—ready to be worked, paired, and held.
Each skein is one of a kind—once they’re gone, they won’t be recreated.
