Welcome to the Dyer’s Almanac—a monthly log of plant dyes and ecological exploration written by me, Erin of Berbo Studio. Each month I share an Almanac entry exploring a unique theme inspired by my home ecosystem, yet with stories, dye recipes, and inspiration for anyone inclined to engage with seasonal cycles and the land where they live.
This seasonal Almanac is the first of its kind—a guide to fall natural dye harvests in California. The full entry (and all past Almanac entries) is available to paid subscribers of this newsletter. Thank you for reading!
