Materials: organically grown, non GMO, seeds, pesticide free, herbicide free, Hopi Red Dye Amaranth Seeds

A gorgeous annual 4 to 6 feet tall with long, draping flower heads, this amaranth is a stunner in the garden and has so many uses! **These seeds were harvested in 2020 for 2021 season planting**

*Only available for domestic shipping, thanks for understanding!*

How to grow:
Site Selection: Annual, support of mature plants may be necessary. Plant in well drained soil. Full sun is preferred.

Start seeds: Sow 4-6 weeks before the last frost indoors. Barely cover seed. Bottom water or mist to avoid covering seeds with displaced soil. Transplant outside after last frost. Or, direct seed after last frost, sow thinly, barely covering the seed. When seedlings have first true leaves, thin to 12-15" apart.

Harvest: Anytime after flowers open.

Processing: Soak entire seed head, stem and leaves in warm to cool water immediately to extract color. Use an acid for best color transfer. Does not color cellulose fibers well. Can also be multipurpose; eat young leaves, eat seeds or pop like popcorn!

The colors in our skeins of Garden Yarn are a permanent part of the protein structure of the wool – so no washing out! We do recommend washing in cool water with a gentle, pH neutral soap (we like Eucalan or Unicorn Fiber Rinse!). After the first wash you may see a little color in the rinse water, but rest assured that it will not significantly affect the color of the yarn.

Just like any fabric or yarn, colors may fade slightly over time, more if frequently exposed to bright sunlight. We recommend storing your creations in a dark, temperature-controlled place when not wearing or using.

In the past 2 years I have shifted to sourcing 100% of the yarn and roving I dye from the USA. I am proud to use Brown Sheep Company yarn and support their family-run Nebraska business. They buy wool from USA farmers, and the wool is a blend of Corriedales, Rambouillets, and Columbians. They are an environmentally conscious company which is very important to me.

We use time-honored processes to provide the best color to your yarn. These include the use of alum in small amounts, an aluminum based mordant (allowing the color to bind with the yarn protein). Alum is a non-toxic additive that can be found in many places (including the grocery spice aisle as a crunch enhancer for pickles!), but if you have a sensitivity to aluminum you may wish to select a color that does not use an alum base (please contact Kendra@knittyvet.com for more information).

I would definitely order from Kendra again! I was surprised at how fast my dye garden seeds shipped and she was so helpful with answering my questions and giving me tips (I’m super super new to natural dyeing and haven’t done a dye garden before so her help was so useful!)

They came right away with instructions. I started some outdoors and some indoors and they all came up, but starting outside seemed the best but I'm sure they will catch up. Excited to see them grow big! Thanks
