This gift box is for all you flower aficionados! It includes a large sample of every dye flower we grow here at Ancient Future Farm. 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 flower varieties in a beautifully packaged gift box.
This box includes a total of 230 grams (over a half pound!) of flowers which will dye a good amount of fiber depending on the depth of shade you prefer and the type of fiber you will be dyeing. Included in the box is an instructional booklet containing recipes for each flower. Also be sure to check out the free resources I’ve linked below. 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), dyer’s chamomile (30 grams), yellow coreopsis (30 grams), dyer’s coreopsis (30 grams), black hollyhock (15 grams), black scabiosa (20 grams), African marigold (25 grams), sulfur cosmos (30 grams), rudbeckia (20 grams), gaillardia (30 grams), and 1 instructional booklet containing flower dye recipes.
The gift box is 14’ x 10” x 4”
All of the flowers 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.
