plant-dyed botanical tape measure design:tape measure #2 ochre (fustic) organic cotton*small batch: there is a very limited quantity of each design.* The wool felt tape measure is entirely hand stitched out of plant dyed organic wool felt (dyed by me in my home dye studio) and is embroidered with botanical design. The back side is decorated with a small coordinating design that indicates the location of the retract button. All stitchwork is done with cotton thread, mohair silk yarn, and tussah silk. Tape measures are about a 3 circle.
