Now let’s talk about flowers. It turns out not all flowers will produce nice, saturated colors for textile dyeing. When planning which species of flowers I’d plant on the farm, this was a huge consideration.

When dreaming up a name for my business I kept coming back to the word “folk”. For me it had so many lovely connotations, but one thing I love is the history of “folk-craft”—a type of art and craft that is passed down through oral tradition or demonstration, and is often handmade.
