#conkertree

Finding conkers is one of my favourite things to do in autumn. When you wade through the crunchy leaves. When you find a big one. When you find a particularly shiny one. When you find the perfect one. ---- #autumn #autumnleaves #conkers #conkertree #conkerhunting #koala #fall #koalaillustration #charlotsart #childrensbookillustrator #digitalillustration #digitalpainting #art #artist #illustration #illustrator #kidlitillustration #kidlitart #acorn https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci230FprAU-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

https://www.etsy.com/ie/listing/520165121/plant-dyed-with-buds-of-the-conker-tree An absolute gem - on my morning walk I collected conker buds of a fallen conker tree, wondering if a secret colour might be hiding in these powerful buds. And there was! A light beautiful yellow with very very light streaks of beige brown only visible at very close range. I mordanted this yarn in a cold bath of Tara powder and alum for 24h. Not only is the colour breathtaking, but so is also the fiber content of this yarn! 80% finest merino blended with 20%cashmere. Despite the dyeing and mordanting, the yarn is still as soft as clouds. On the yarn: This is the softest yarn in our Sortiment so far. A marriage made in heaven, the combination of Cashmere and super soft Merino makes this yarn irresistible. Perfect for a baby's outfit, christening dress, shawls and other lovely items. This yarn is only available as nature intended it to be, but we do custom dye if you would prefer a different colour. Please contact me for more details! One hank will give you an incredible amount of length! In a nutshell for 100gr: 4 ply 400m 80% fine merino wool 20% Cashmere #woolfinchstudio #handdyed #handdyedyarn #plantdyed #cashmereyarn #conkertree (at Scarriff, Clare, Ireland)
