WOOL AND PLANTS FOR DYEING

Most of my wool comes from small wool mills or local farmers. This is my way to support small business and keep my shop environment friendly.

I gather most of the dyestuff myself in fields and forests. I do not use endangered species and don`t harm the environment in any other way. Barks are collected from fallen or legally cut (in order to keep the forest clean) trees.
Some of the plants are grown by my parents in their garden - Japanese indigo, woad, madder, yew, apple trees, plum and many more.
Exotic plants or the ones that I can`t find in my local area come from farms which respect the environment and comply with organic textile certifications.
NATURAL DYEING:

Dyeing with plants gives the most beautiful colours and I believe it holds the energy of a plant as well. It goes through so many stages - picking plants in the forest, cleaning it, drying, boiling, simmering, soaking, washing... Each time colours come out at least a little bit different and that is the magic of this technology! Colors are very subtle and they all match each other (like nature itself). These shades are very hard to describe and don`t fit into "normal" color categories, but I am trying to do my best :)

TAKING CARE:

I recommend handwashing only: soak for an hour or few in a bucket of cool water with neutral liquid wool/silk detergent, keep agitation to a minimum (prevent felting) rinse cold, squeeze and pat dry - DO NOT WRING; reshape whilst damp and dry flat on a towel. If you want to carefully iron it once dry, use a warm-only wool setting and, for best results, place the iron on a damp tea towel.

Be careful with strong acids and alkalines - it can damage or change plant dyed colours.
