This beautiful perennial yellow coreopsis variety yields gorgeous unexpected coral and orange shades depending on the WOF ratio, fiber type, and mordants used. These flowers can be used for bundle dyeing or eco-printing experiments or to set up an immersion dye bath. Use Yellow Coreopsis at 25-50% WOF. Check out our resources for working with dye flowers linked below.
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.
