Leaf senescence is the natural aging process of leaves, marking the transition from vibrant growth to dormancy. As the seasons change, chlorophyll breaks down, and green pigments fade, allowing stunning hues of gold, amber, crimson, and deep orange to emerge. This process, while signaling the end of a leaf's life, plays a vital role in nutrient recycling and preparation for the colder months ahead, showcasing nature’s remarkable ability to balance life and decay in a breathtaking display of colour.
 
Inspired by this process, "Senescence" captures the essence of autumn’s transformation. Hand-dyed with rich gradients of fading green, golden yellows, and fiery reds, each skein reflects the fleeting beauty of fall's changing leaves. This colour way evokes a sense of warmth and nostalgia, perfect for knitting cozy garments that mirror the natural world’s graceful transition.
