Welcome to The Fold!

Earthues is Michelle Whipplinger's company. Michelle is quite a globe trotter! She goes all over the world teaching and searching for new sources of natural dyes. Since she has been so busy collecting intense dye extracts, Michelle's teaching schedule has been abbreviated - if you have a chance to take a class with her, I heartily recommend signing up!

Note: to help you choose, we have included a general description of the color you will achieve with each extract, however, please note that these colors may differ according to the mordant used, and sometimes, your water! We have included some examples of different fibers dyed with these extracts and combinations of these extracts below.
