I only went for the Talks- Honest!
These were cut 1/2 metre lengths from
The Dyeworks
based in Gloucestershire

Polly Lyster trawls France and Turkey for linen fragments to dye
She makes recipes based on natural indigo
and then dip-dyes
up to ten times
to make these beautiful tints
Also found a clutch of linen spools!
My excuse was that I needed something for the journey home
Ohhh! and Meg Andrews had a fascinating darning sampler
from North Holland, stitched by Geertuid A. Kruyt.
The stitch patterns were very similar to twill weaving patterns
and looked like fantastic reference for field patterns!
