Turpentine Jar

Turpentine Jar (or as I like to refer to it as "Turp Jar") is the color of my solvent jar when I am deep into an oil painting. Loooooong before I am a dyer, I am a painter. A renderer. A maker. The neutral grey that always collected at the bottom of of my solvent jar felt like it was worth distilling into a single colorway. This grey is made from about 6 different dyes, much like what collects at the bottom of my Turp Jar when I paint. That sediment is a Holy Grey-- a collective grey. A unifying grey. Often I would even distill that paint sludge, re-consititute it with Linseed Oil, and reintroduce it to my palette as its own paint. Turpentine Jar is the compound grey that is simply a catch-all color. Don't be surprised if this grey plays every role in your work; warm, cool, compound, straight forward, mysterious. It's dynamic and essential, if I can be so bold. 

All yarns are dyed-to-order, so dream big! Select your yarn and quantity of skeins… I’ll dye it up with extra love, just for you<3
