2026 July colour of the Month - Dyed to order - Bush Berries

Bush Berries is a vivid and striking colour that carries the richness of ripe wild berries at the height of summer. Sitting between red and fuchsia, it has an intensity that makes it bold without being harsh. The tone is saturated and full of life, with a natural brightness that reflects light beautifully, giving it a subtle sheen. It brings to mind the juicy vibrancy of native fruits, making it both luscious and uplifting. This colour works beautifully for pieces that are meant to stand out, adding warmth, passion, and a touch of playfulness to any project.

This time of year is busy ... and I'm afraid there is a bit of a wait for your Dye to order colours right now. I usually say 2 weeks but currently may be as long as 4 weeks. I apologise for the wait but as a single woman business it's the best I can do.

Get it at 20% off during the month and Dyed to Order to allow for larger quantities to be dyed in one dyelot - this is one of those colours that does seem to vary considerably between dyelots.

I'm leaving up our dyed to order colours of 2025 so you can still select those- they will be deleted as the month ends in 2026.
