50g of natural dyed fabric. mixed colours, each pack is unique and varies from day to day. There will be green, blue and yellow as a core. other colours depend on the season and availability of colours and dyes.

Examples of dyes used are indigo, weld, eucalyptus, camomile, woad, Ivy, cutch, logwood, Brazil wood, walnuts, leaves from chestnut, oak and walnut, oak galls, bracken, elder, madder, avocados. Where possible I forage, but some dyes are purchased in powder of chip form.

information on dyeing

all my fabrics other than indigo are mordanted and this allows the dye to stay in the fabric. with some dyes i also pre mordant with tannin found in oak galls. both these processes use water, (some heat) and time. many dyes are fugative and will fade over time. keeping all fabrics out of the sun and using pH neutral soap will help. Even indigo fades over time and washing.
