This magical mix of cool purples is called Frosty Reception. It hurts when other women in a position to empower and make change choose to chase their own prestige under the status quo instead. I think everyone will recognise this experience. I use dyeing as a creative outlet; it is transformative. 🧶

The final mushroom colourway is, um, Wood Blewit again! It’s because I accidentally dyed it on merino/nylon instead of bluefaced leicester. I thought it would be fun to redo it differently so one represented the gills and another the cap. yorkshireyarnfest.co.uk #yorkshireyarnfest #mothyandthesquid
