In March 2025, Debbie expanded her commitment to natural processes by starting her own Natural Dye Garden. She is currently weaving a new collection of Cornish Coastline Tapestries using fleece and hand-spun yarn dyed naturally with plants from her garden, avoiding all synthetic chemicals. Her studio practice prioritises traceability and waste reduction, using
Deadstock yarn, and British fibre hand-spinning and processing, locally sourced.
Indigo organic 1-2-3 Vat
This handwoven work features a dialogue between industrial 'deadstock' rug yarn and personal, hand-spun fibres. Each thread has been dip-dyed in a traditional organic 1-2-3 indigo fructose vat (indigo, lime, and fructose, a natural reduction method) to achieve its distinct blue hues, resulting in a tapestry that respects both environmental circularity and the slow craft of natural dyeing.
