A Fantastical World
I don't like guessing. I'm a visionary. I create stories in my mind and want to bring the essence of them to life. I see colour palettes, themes and want to put them on fibre. I want to wear handmade luxury knit sweaters in all my favourite colours. I want to feel the essence of 'pretty' at country ball one day and the next day I'm a princess warrior battling it out in Narnia to save the world from a never ending winter. I love jumping between different worlds, characters and creating them into fashionable visual niche themes. My childlike spirit along with my experience in graphic design, branding, colour theory and fibre art is part of what brings me to this moment now.
A Complete Colour Range
How can I quickly and easily find the colours I need for my project? Having a complete shade range at hand allows me to create a full spectrum of colours, allowing for flexibility, with limitless creative possibilities. I can find the exact shade I need quickly and much more easily then if I had to spend hours guessing my way through each dye colour, testing each shade. Which I exhaustingly did do, before creating this collection. As soon as I realised a full shade palette would help me achieve my vision, I got to work on it. Whether it's a hobby project or a professional one, I have come up with a solution and want to share it with you. So what are some of the advantages I have found so far?
Creative Confidence
Having a broad range of colours allows me to experiment, mix, and match without the limitation of a restricted palette. I feel confident in tackling more ambitious complex designs, knowing I can achieve the exact shades I envision. Knowing that the perfect colour exists builds confidence in my ability to realise my vision. Knowing that it can be consistently and easily replicated is a game changer.
Feeling Empowered
I feel empowered to create intricate, personalised projects. With every shade on hand, I have the tools to fix or adjust colours easily if something goes wrong, like tweaking hues that didn’t turn out as expected. I feel less fear of making mistakes.
Easy Colour Matching
Having every shade available ensures I can match colours with great precision and save much time buying and testing dye colours. Having a full palette means I can easily replicate specific shades for consistency, or when re-creating previous projects.
Simplified Custom Orders
If you’re working with clients, having samples in various colours can help in getting their approval on the final colour palette, ensuring that the project meets their expectations. Being able to quickly create samples in any shade reduces turnaround time for clients who request specific colours, helping your business run more smoothly.

I want to share everything I know with you, so you can hone in, save time formulating, cut the confusion and enjoy the process and fibre art part of it more. Thank you to all of those who have supported Muffs development and continue to cheer me on. I plan to develop my own personal style course with a focus on colour, so look out for that in the future.
