Gum Blossom Yarns

Amazing tree in our neighbourhood that is called a Coolamon or Cassowary fruit tree. The fruit spirals like a helix around the trunk. Hmm wonder what they taste like? Or dye like?! What’s in your local area? #naturephotography #natureisamazing https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp-vMfRlbh9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xuayreqcl22r

Yay! My first Saori weaving shed looks ready to weave. Any suggestions? Placemats, scarves, tea towels, cloth? #gumblossomyarnsforweaving #dyedbynature #saoriweaving #curiousweaver #slowfashionoctober (at Brisbane, Queensland, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpX0yDAH9co/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=g30ipv2mvdm1

Feeling like experimenting a little with some gumleaves from out west. Eucalyptus leucoxylon, yellow gum or white ironbark? #orangedye #dyedbynature #foodflavouringoils https://www.instagram.com/p/BpQMAFhnIu6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z87tuiw0dtw

Day2 Saori weaving #curiousweaver. I can’t recommend any more highly taking Kaz’s workshop in Saori weaving. Totally creative with no pressure to “get it right”. Your pace is the right pace.

Sorry folks! I’ve paused my shop to do a stocktake and load up some new products. I’m also taking a weaving course to learn and expand my creative self.
