This gift box contains some of my favorite dyes for eco-printing and bundle dyeing. Like the farm to table movement these sustainably grown dye flowers go right from our small family farm to your dye pot. This beautiful assortment of homegrown regenerative color includes 9 varieties in a beautifully packaged gift box.
This box includes a total of 170 grams of dyestuffs. Included in the box is an instructional booklet containing bundle dyeing instructions. I did not include scouring detergent in the gift boxes this year. If you will be scouring cellulose fibers you will want to add a bottle of cellulose scour to your order. If you will be scouring protein fibers you will want to add a bottle of Orvus Past to your order. Both are linked in the “you might also like” section below.
Included in the box:
Aluminum sulfate (100 grams), soda ash (25 grams), ground burgundy bliss marigolds (25 grams), marigold petal confetti (10 grams), rubenza cosmos (25 grams), sulfur cosmos (25 grams), dyer’s chamomile (25 grams), black hollyhock (15 grams), black scabiosa (15 grams), dyer’s coreopsis (15 grams), pericón (15 grams), and 1 instructional booklet.
The gift box is 14’ x 10” x 4”
All of the dyes were planted, tended to, harvested, and cured by Sara here in southwestern Colorado on Ancient Future Farm. Our family has been tending this land and soil with regenerative growing methods since 2005. Our soil is nurtured through extensive cover cropping and no-till farming methods. Our crops are fertilized with compost that we make right here on site. We never use synthetic chemicals such as herbicides, pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or fungicides. Our dye flowers are harvested every day by hand when they reach their optimal potential and then carefully cured in our curing room out of direct sunlight. All of our natural dyestuffs are packaged in heat sealed envelopes to keep them fresh. For best results we recommend using them within a year although they will last far longer if stored in a dark, dry place.
