Sulfur Cosmos Flowers
Sulfur Cosmos
(Cosmos sulphureus)
Sulfur Cosmos yield incredible shades from bright orange, to warm orangey browns, to dark browns depending on the fiber type and mordant used. They can be used for bundle dyeing and eco-printing experiments or to set up an immersion dye bath. Be sure to check out my resources linked below.
Available in 4 sizes this year! Select either 50 grams, 100 grams, 1/2 pound, and wholesale 1 pound options from the dropdown menu.
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.
