This is the dye flower bundle you’ll need if you would like to naturally dye and make The Folk Garden Quilt!
This bundle includes:
50 grams dyer's coreopsis
50 grams calendula or Rubenza Cosmos
50 grams whole marigold flowers
50 grams sulfur cosmos
*Please note: I didn’t have very much calendula this season so I’m substituting Rubenza Cosmos on some orders, which yield a very similar shade. If your order includes Rubenza Cosmos instead of Calendula, just follow the calendula dye recipe but use the Rubenza Cosmos.
If you are planning to naturally dye and make The Folk Garden Quilt you will also need to purchase the coordinating The Folk Garden Quilt Dye Flower Recipe PDF,and The Folk Garden Quilt pattern PDF.
If you follow the instructions in the dye recipe PDF to dye a gradation with each flower variety by working your way through the exhaust dye baths, you will have lots of extra fabric left over after making the Folk Garden Quilt to use for other projects.
These flowers were grown, 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 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.
