FAQs
What happens to my garment in the dye pot?Each garment enters a seasonal natural dye bath prepared using plant-based materials, such as hibiscus or other seasonal botanicals. Colour outcomes vary depending on fibre type, original garment colour, and how the fabric responds to natural dye processes. This means each piece becomes completely unique.
2. What kinds of garments can I send?You can send most natural fibre garments including cotton, linen, silk, wool, and blended natural textiles. Common items include jeans, jumpers, shirts, dresses, and heirloom pieces. If you’re unsure, you can include a note when you enquire and we can advise before sending.
3. Will I know exactly what colour I’ll get?Not exactly; and that is part of the process. Natural dyeing is responsive rather than fixed. The final colour is shaped by the plant material, the season, and the original textile. Each outcome is one-of-a-kind and reflects the natural variability of the process.
