Thistle&Purl

Thistle&Purl Specializing in natural fibers. Naturally dyed cotton swaddles, vintage cottons, embroidery, crochet The name Thistle & Purl has so many meanings to me.

I began my dyeing journey in college as a Fiber Arts minor at Kent State. I had a wonderful professor and learned about reactive dyes. Since that time I have raised a family, homeschooled, and continued to try to be creative. Upon learning that I was going to be a Grandma, I began making baby things and resisted dyeing, but wanted non toxic dyes for the upcoming blessing. The research into natural

dyeing began and I have entered into a complex, challenging, and rewarding experience. I want to share this natural way to dye that is okay for baby with others. Thistle is the part that connects to nature and my husbands family heritage is Scottish, hence the Scottish Thistle. Purl, well there are so many "Pearls" in my life. I have had two Grandmas with the middle name of Pearl. One was a hard worker and had a farm, the other was a quilter and handed down a love of fiber craft. My Quilter Grandma was my great- grandma and she passed down her love to her daughter and her daughter, both major influences and I love them dearly. The lastly, my mother's best friend's mom had a love of all needlework and took her time to teach many girls her art, she was lovely and amazingly talented. Sweet Lou loved to shop at a place called Stitch, Piece, & Purl. So many creative women have been the influence on this shop. I do hope you enjoy!
