Thread Journeys Merino Long Sleeve Top
A one-of-a-kind merino wool long sleeve, naturally plant dyed and eco printed by hand in New Zealand.
This piece has been carefully dyed using eucalyptus to create beautiful earthy tones, then individually leaf printed with feathery eucalyptus leaves in vibrant, fiery orange hues. Every botanical print is unique, capturing the delicate beauty of the plants used to create it.
Crafted from beautifully soft 100% merino wool, this top is breathable, temperature regulating and wonderfully comfortable to wear throughout the seasons. Merino keeps you warm on cold winter days while remaining lightweight and breathable when the weather changes.
Designed with a flattering fitted silhouette, full-length sleeves and a classic crew neckline, it's perfect for layering or wearing on its own.
Size: Large
Best fit: Size 14
Each Thread Journeys garment is individually hand dyed using sustainably gathered plants and traditional botanical dyeing techniques. No synthetic dyes are used, allowing the natural colours and leaf prints to tell their own story.
To wear this piece is to wear the wild. Every garment reflects the changing seasons, the unique plants gathered by hand, and the slow, thoughtful process that transforms natural fibres into wearable art. No two pieces are ever the same.
Made from natural fibres, thoughtfully handcrafted, and designed to be treasured for years to come.

The garment will take on a life of it’s own as it naturally ages, just like us, adding to it’s own uniqueness and individuality (just like you).
Created from natural fibres, at the end of it’s life this garment can be added to your compost heap to naturally decompose & feed the soil (very unlike synthetic clothing filled with chemicals).
Botanical Printing / Natural dyeing / Ecoprinting is a slow process where fabric is dyed and printed using the natural tannins, color & prints of botanicals (plants, leaves, roots, bark, flowers, lichens etc). Much like our ancestors did for generations, clothing can be colored using nature’s abundance without the use of synthetic, toxic & dangerous chemicals. The colors are truely natural (found in my garden or foraged around my neighborhood, not out of packets), depicting the colors of my local surroundings & the ever changing seasons.
