Hand Dyeing Heaven Since 2005!

DT Craft & Design

Established in 2005, DT Craft & Design is a small family business run by Debbie and Pete Tomkies.

We sell a range of high quality products for hand-dyers and textile artists, all carefully selected and extensively tested before we bring them to you.

Product support and helpful advice

We pride ourselves in providing excellent technical backup, drawing on Debbie’s 30 years of experience as a textile artist.

We are also delighted to offer a comprehensive range of workshops, tutorials and product guides to help you develop your textiles skills.

Workshops, writing & teaching

Debbie has been a textiles tutor for over 15 years, is the author of five books, has had over 50 published designs and over 150 articles and tutorials in major craft magazines.

Pete is our photographer, videographer, graphic designer and looks after the website as well as assisting Debbie at workshops and shows!

Our ethos

Our strength is in our understanding of our products – what they can (and can’t!) do, helping you choose the best product for your project and how to use our products.

We work with trusted partners and suppliers and aim to source goods sustainably. We are constantly reviewing our packaging, processing and transportation to reduce our carbon footprint as far as possible.

We use recycled materials where available and recycle packaging to reduce waste.

What our customers say...

Thanks for the swift delivery of the items. 
I have already used them today so the session is now mostly prepped. I really appreciate your help getting the order out quickly.

It's Holiday Time!

Last posting dates:

We’ll be posting those stocking fillers and last-minute gifts (we’ve all been there!) for orders placed before 12.30pm on 23rd December. However, last posting date is 21st December so it may be that orders may not arrive in time for the ‘big day’. If you need a last-minute gift or you’re not sure what to get we do have gift vouchers in the shop!

Christmas holiday

As it’s Christmas we are then taking a bit of a break and the shop will be closed until 4th Jan 2026.You may still place orders (simply close this window with the ‘X’ or escape to return to the shop) but we will not start dispatching orders until 4th January.

Thank you!

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone for your support and custom this year. Your support for small businesses like ours is very much appreciated.

Last but definitely not least, we wish you all a peaceful and restful festive break and hope to be able to say thank you in person in 2026!

Love, Debbie & Pete xx
