Process and care...

A great deal of work goes into the process of natural dyeing and important steps are taken to create long lasting, beautiful colours. The fabric is first scoured to remove any oils or waxes that could block the dye from penetrating the fabric. It is then soaked for many hours in tannin and alum salt baths so that the dye can attach itself effectively to the fabric, creating a more colourfast garment. Once the desired colour is achieved, the item is then laundered using an eco-friendly detergent.

Please keep in mind that a little more care and attention is required for keeping your naturally dyed product looking its best. Consider airing over washing and if laundering is required, do so as infrequently as possible. Hand-wash in cold water using a pH neutral detergent, such as Ecover. Hang to dry out of direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry and do not dry clean.
