Hi, I'm Jean!

From Plant to Dye Pot: A Natural Dye Course for Rug Hookers & Wool Crafters. Founding Member Pre-Sale - Jean Haley Dye + Design

I'm an eco-conscious fiber artist & botanical dye alchemist, advocating for slow craft and zero-waste fiber arts. I help rug hookers and wool crafters who want to increase the sustainability of their craft but feel overwhelmed by misinformation—especially about what truly works and whether natural dyes are colorfast (spoiler: yes, just ask a medieval tapestry!). I do this by teaching deep-dive, science-backed natural dyeing techniques that cut through misinformation and ensure rich, lasting color—without the guesswork. So you can dye wool with confidence, knowing your craft is both beautiful and truly sustainable—rooted in time-honored, eco-friendly practices.
