I was thinking when Bunchy was saying that she felt sad when she poured the hot water over the flowers, really she is just giving those flowers an exteneded life. Now their color can live on for so much longer in the yarn that she is dyeing. Flowers are here today and gone tomorrow, but the dyed wool will last for ever so much longer. And if the flowers could feel or think, how happy they would be knowing that their beauty is continuing to bring joy to others long after they would have faded from memory if not for Bunchy's work and love.
How inspiring is nature!
Fascinating to see the process of natural dyeing. The colours are so harmonious. Your respect for the environment really came through on this podcast.
After watching & listening to Bunchy Casey’s outstanding presentation, I now wish I could learn to do some natural dying! Her absolute awe, admiration, & passion to nature, for giving her the tools she requires to do her dying is so admirable! What a lovely gentle woman of heart! I hope she does more videos, she’s wonderful to watch, listen to, & learn from! Thank you for selecting Bunchy to showcase her skill & talents!!! This was a total pleasure to watch!!
So lovely to see the beautiful relationship you have with nature. What a miraculous world we live in.

I'm looking at my overgrown rhubarb with new eyes. I need to thin out my raised bed, so I will try drying some of the rhubarb root. I love all this alchemy, thank you!

So interesting. Having bouquets of wool must make you so happy - I get it!
Hello Bunchy from vancouver island, in Canada. I was so pleased to see someone talking about woad I have been growing it here in my garden and dyeing with it . I love it and cant wait till its time to make a woad dye pot again. I am also drying lichen from the fallen branches this winter, it dries very well and hope I am successful at getting some beautiful pinks and purples this summer. I have four sheep and so adequate fleece to spin and dye with. Your dye garden is so inspiring. please take care and thank you for your video.
Delighted to share with my favorite natural dyer here in Maryland.
I really enjoyed this video! I dabble in dyeing and would like to do more! Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you for this wonderful video, fascinating and inspiring!
I love these videos. Thank you so much!
This was such a wonderful video! I really enjoyed hearing how you first became interested in natural dying (beets do make a beautiful color)! Nature's generosity always astonishes me, and I love the sense of gratitude you brought to sharing the plants, the dyes you can create, and the marvelous end results. Thank you!
💚
Lovely garden and how u enjoy your knitting.. the colours are so much better than commercial dyed wools for knitting. Thanks and stay well thro winter from a wet and rainy (unusual) summer in South Africa 🇿🇦
Just watched this on a cold and windy day and enjoyed seeing your dye garden in bloom. Thanks for showing all the different plants and the colors they make. It is very inspiring!
Well done and lovely to watch!
Thanks so much for this info about natural dyeing.
A wonderful, very special documentary. Very soothing and calming when life is busy around you. Can you tell us, or show how much wool you dye each time and how much is made for a garment.
What a lovely contemplative and inspiring film, thank you x
💚
Such a lovely and inspiring video, real magic!
💚
A wonderful podcast
This was lovely, thank you.
It was so interesting to see I have many sources of dyes right here in my yard and neighborhood on Whidbey Island in the Pacific Northwest US. The video inspires me to try some dyeing!
💚
Fabulous video. Thankyou for inviting us into your garden! The passion you have for what you do really comes through.
💚
Absolutely superb. I so love spun wool and natural dyes. Its so exciting to see your work. Art. Ive only just discovered you. Wonderful.
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you.
How fun, so many plants that give us great colors. I’ve used the outer green walnut shell (the stinky part) as a dye, when combined with an indigo over dye= a deep rich mossy green. Hollyhock petals dye true to their color, coreopsis tinctoria (corn marigold) dyes yellow, with an iron mordant gives a rich brown. So much to learn, I would love to take a workshop with Bunchy.
What a delightful woman - so inspiring in her joy in discovering, experimenting - her love and knowledge of the dye plants in her environment. I could watch this over and over. Thank you.
So very interesting thank you for the wonderful video 😊
Thank you so much for releasing this lovely film for everyone to see.
I really enjoyed this, thank you.
Thankyou ,it was so informative and inspiring .👏🏼
Donna Smith has beautiful naturally-dyed yarns. I am in love with it. I wish I had time and room to experiment with natural dyes; but my other two hobbies (painting and knitting) already take up most of my spare time. So I'll just enjoy other people's yarn :)
Wonderful! Thank you.
Oh my, your enthusiasm and joy is infectious! I loved this lesson. Thank you. I hope I can meet you some day.
💚
Fantastic thank you SO much ☺️ ❤❤❤❤
You've helped me see my messy garden in a new way, thank you! What an insightful video.
Such passion! I love to listen to her and watch her working.
Brilliant. Thank you.
I looooove her work! Just a gorgeous video. It's great to see that containers work for some of the dye plants.
💚
Wonderful video
💚
WOW, what an awesome video, so inspiring! I've got a lovely list of terms that I'm going away to educate myself on. Thank you so much Bunchy for brightening my day :-)
🌱 💚
Thank you for all your hard work Bunchy it is a really intriguing video - I thank the Lord for His beautiful creation and all the gifts He has given us.
It would be so enjoyable to take a class from Bunchy, or be her apprentice! A wonderful and magical skill. And she seems like a lovely, thoughtful person.
What an inspiring video! Your room full of plants and yarn is just magic!
You are absolutely brilliant and inspiring and a true artist! I'm watching from Canada and getting back k to the pins after a career in education..this puts me in touch with my roots and I hope the Shetland community truly appreciates the hours and dedication to have to this artform Bunchy.
Your studio is cozy and I am wondering if you are associated with any museums or universities that research Fibre and textile history?
You are a wise woman..so inspired watching this as our leaves in Ontario fall and I wonder what would happen if I died those rich fall colours.
Thank you !!
I really enjoyed this. Fascinating, being from Australia, won't be able to try all these plants but got amazing inspiration. Thank you Bunchy.
💚
Thank you very much for sharing wealth of knowledge about your garden dyeing. Natural dyes so simply awesome. You are a garden queen 😍
That was absolutely Magical...I was mesmerized ! Thank you for this whole series, with Admiration and Love for all things Shetland, from Michigan USA 💌
Inspirational
What an interesting talk and demonstration of plants and tree bark
Uses in wool colours.
Absolutely fascinating 😊
Thank you so much, I loved watching your video! So gentle and inspiring, like the colours you get from natural dye matter.and I too have ponder about the sea, adding to minerals in the soil for colour shifts, and the different dirts where things grow,such a pleasure to watch!
Gorgeously done, thank you! I love the whole process of dyeing with plants nd this video really covered so much.
Such a beautiful film. Thank you for sharing.
Such an informative episode. Where is Bunchy's online shop? Beautiful natural colours from herbage.
That was just fascinating - thank you Bunchy! I am just at the start of my natural dyeing (though I did do a little when I was much younger and managed to produce some very garish shades!), and your video is a great help.☺
What a lovely video! And so inspiring, too. Thank you!
A magnificent video. I loved every second of it. So well explained in such a relaxed fashion. Your love of what you do so well, has improved my day. Thank you.
Lovely inspiring video. Thank you 😊
Wonderful and very inspiring
Very informative, thank you!
I would love to learn how to dye wool xxx
I've always wanted to die my own wool and this video has been so inspirational that I may have to find the time this summer to give it a go!. So you have your own Utube channel? Also do you sell your natural died wool?
Your dyes are beautiful but I hope you can recognize that the environment has no power but the God who created all of those plants the sea the sky. Is who we can thank and honour for him putting all of this beauty for us.
How well do the colors stay in the fabric?
Is it possible to rent an allotment garden that has a waterproof shed on it. I love gardening I have an allotment in Newcastle Upon Tyne England we're I live. But I love Scotland so much I would love to rent allotment in Scotland and may stop in the she'd for a few time's in the Summer or any time off the year maybe not Winter. Thank you. Dobspato Newcastle Upon Tyne England.
I would like what is the name of of your flower u have on your screen.
Alum is not an environmentally friendly mordant! Scottish dyers would not have used this traditionally.
Thanks for not answering my question.
