Gesa Drechsler of Buttjebeyy
This week we would like to introduce the indie dyer Gesa Drechsler of Buttjebeyy who specialises in using natural dyes. Following first attempts with Easter egg colours, which ended in a minor catastrophe, Frau Drechsler now works exclusively with natural dyes. Everything from rhubarb root to logwood to coffee goes into the dye pot.
Find out more about this in our interview with Frau Drechsler:

For some time now, Buttjebeyy has been using RAW yarns by LANGYARNS for dyeing. Exclusively for you, Frau Drechsler has not only designed the triangular shawl "Five Wisdoms" , but alos dyed the yarns to knit it with.
