Paivatar Hand Woven Bookmark BKMK9
This is a handwoven cotton bookmark. This bookmark has been woven on a Scandinavian band loom, using organic cotton threads.
One end of the bookmark is finished with a piece of reindeer leather. The other end has a fringe finish.
The bookmark measures approximately:
Length: 25 cm (9.75 inches)
Width: 3cm (1.2 inches)
Colours: White Blue Black Pink
Materials: Organic Cotton, Reindeer Leather
I weave many styles and types of narrow bands on different types of inkle and Sami band looms. Often I have small samples left over that are just too pretty to discard. A bookmark is a good way to recycle and to reduce waste. I make these bookmarks in a generous length, so that they should fit a hardcover book.
If you love books or have a friend who does, why not give them a special treat of a handmade bookmark.

Dyer’s Madder Root Dye
Rubia Tinctoria
Dye Package Weight: 50 grams
Colours: Reds, Pinks, Orange shades of colour.
Madder Root dye has been used for centuries to dye fibres, yarns and fabrics. Madder dye produces shades of red, pink and orange depending on the pH of the dye bath, concentration of the dye and length of time the fibres have been in the dye vat. The roots of the plant contain a range of red, orange and yellow colourants. Changing the pH and temperature of the dyebath can result in varied shades of colour.
To Dye 100 grams of yarn, I generally use 10 grams of dye powder. For stronger colours, you can add more dye powder. After dyeing the yarn, the dye bath can be used again for lighter shades of colour. Re-use the dyebath until the dye is exhausted. Or you can add other natural dye colours to get different shades of colour. Nothing is wasted.
When dyeing with natural plant dyes, a mordant must be used to pre-treat all fibres. The mordant allows the fibre to absorb the dye more readily. For animal fibres such as wool, alpaca, silk use a mordant such as alum. Alum is a natural mineral salt and has been used for thousands of years to dye fibres. I use a 10% ratio of alum to fibre. I find that using more than this can result in a harsh texture to the yarn. I also add 5% Cream of Tartar to the mordant bath, as this also helps to soften the texture of the yarn. I reuse the mordant bath several times, adding more water and another 5% of Alum each time I add more fibre. This results in less waste of both water and mordant.
For plant fibres, pre-mordant with a tannin such as Gallnut or Myrobalan or with Aluminum Acetate
Add pre-mordanted yarn or fibre to the warm water dye bath and let this simmer on low for about an hour. Turn off the dyebath and let the yarn soak for several hours or overnight. Natural dyeing is a slow process, not to be rushed.
Dye Package Weight: 50 grams
Colours: Reds, Pinks, Orange shades of colour.

Rainbow Tapestry Wool Thread Kit 20
A pack of 10 skeins of 4 Ply organic wool yarn that has been hand dyed with natural plant dyes.
This organic plant dyed wool yarn is a bit finer than Appletons tapestry wools and works best with No.10 – 12 mesh canvas.
The yarn is a suitable for embroidery, tapestry work, needlepoint, crochet, or fine knitting.
Each skein is approx. 10 meters in length
10 skeins of naturally plant dyed rainbow colours per pack.
Please check my other listings for single colour naturally plant dyed skeins.
I will be adding more naturally dyed yarns each week, so please check back for new plant dyed colours.
The natural dyes are created using plants, leaves, flowers, tree barks and minerals that have been used and tested through the ages. Naturally dyed colours fade gently yet remain beautiful.
Some of the dye plants that I use to create the many shades of the rainbow are:
Reds: Madder root, Brazilwood, Cochineal
Yellows: Weld, Fustic, Dyers Greenwood, Flame of the Forest
Blues: Indigo, Woad, Japanese Indigo
Purples and Greys: Alkanet, Logwood
I love to dye rainbows of colour using natural dye plants. These tapestry yarns are the results of my experiments. Natural dyes produce colours that are unique yet harmonious with each other. Not to be repeated. I hope that you will enjoy creating something new with the yarns as much as I have enjoyed making them.
Please note that hand dyed yarns take up dye at different rates, so may have some colour variation throughout the skein, creating a unique look to the yarn. Some natural dye residue such as Indigo may rub off onto your hands. This is harmless.
