All four of the marigold varieties we grow! This bundle includes our regular bright dense Mexican marigolds, Strawberry Blonde, Court Jester, and Burgundy Bliss. The packs are 50 grams each so 200 grams (nearly a half pound) total. Enjoy experimenting with these different varieties which yield subtly different dye shades ranging from buttery yellow, to canary yellow, to yellow-green, to the typical strong golden marigold yellow. Olive greens can be achieved by using a dark tannin base on cellulose fibers or by over dyeing natural gray sheep’s wool.
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.
