Sacred Feather Carriers

For a while, I had been wondering what the best way to carry my feathers would be. I wanted a pouch, but did not want to be pulling the feather back out in a way that would ruffle them. So, I realized that is both ends were open, the feather could be pulled out in the way that was best for it.

These Sacred Feather Carriers were knit while holding the intention of beauty, love, and peace for all of life in the best way possible.


Turmeric hand dyed, hand spun Sacred Feather Carrier


This Sacred Feather Carrier was created with handspun, home dyed yarn created by Heidi Burrowes. This yarn was lovingly dyed with the spice turmeric. The ingredients involved were salt, vinegar, turmeric, and hot water. Forget about chemically dyed products. This is a venture into prechemical ways of creating.

Traditional healing ways of using turmeric include: purification, decreasing inflammation, and passion, among others. Journey to your helping spirits to find out how turmeric is helpful for you, and consult a physician if you need to because this is not medical advise.
The wool is Corriedale top wool from Great Britain. Still looking for local wool rovings.
This carrier will hold a feather up to size 11 inches long, and 1 inch wide.


To keep this beautiful and original piece looking the best, it will need to be handwashed in cold water, and layed flat to dry.
