We were invited to participate in the Starving Artist Pop-Up Valentine’s Market on February 9 and thought it would be the perfect time and place, to launch our new line of upcycled table linens. Having both dyed and bundled-dyed napkins and placemats over the Fall using flowers from our garden, with the pop-up market’s theme aligned to Valentine’s Day, we wanted to be on-brand colour-wise. Dyeing some of the vintage linens with cochineal (dried insects) and madder (root powder) provides an amazing range: from pink to purple and reds through to orange. We’re truly excited to share these pieces at the market and look forward to continuing to use these vibrant dyes on our silks, too.
