Marilyn Firth is a Manitoba farmer and textile artist who works in wool, silk, cotton, linen and hemp fibres, using all natural dyes. Though she includes knit and crochet work in her repertoire, her area of special interest is eco-dyeing on natural fibres.

She grows her own dye plants on her market garden farm, where she and her family grow a broad mix of vegetables for sale through CSA programs and farmers’ markets. She is an avid supporter of supporting local, and ensuring that the materials she uses are ethically sourced. Marilyn offers eco-dyeing workshops, both on farm, and off, the details of which you can find below:
