Before dyeing, I’ll sometimes fold, gather, or bind the fabric by hand. It changes the way the colour settles into the cloth — creating softer movement, variation, and areas that feel less controlled. I’ve always been drawn to that natural irregularity. It gives each piece its own character.

This shroud combines black walnut and madder. Together, they create deep browns and warm red undertones.

Both dyes are known for their strength and longevity. Colours that feel grounded and close to the earth.

Colour from plants behaves differently.

It doesn’t sit on top of the fabric — it becomes part of it. That’s why it feels softer.

Less applied. More integrated.

After dyeing, the fabric is left to dry slowly. Air, light, and time all play a role in how the final colour settles.

It’s one of the quieter parts of the process — and one that can’t be rushed.

This piece pairs eucalyptus-dyed cotton with silk ties coloured using avocado. The result is a soft contrast — earthy and muted, with a hint of warmth.

Both dyes come from plants, and settle differently into the fabric over time. No two pieces are exactly the same.

Every shroud begins with fabric.

Cotton, linen, h**p, or silk — chosen for how it feels and how it returns to the earth.

Simple materials, used with intention.

This piece is undyed. Natural cotton muslin with cream silk ties.

No added colour — just the tone of the fabric itself. Often chosen for its simplicity.

There is a difference in how natural fibres behave.

They soften.
They respond.
They rest.

For those who choose this path,
