</aside>

• plant dyes only work on natural fibers: cotton, linen, wool, silk, etc. (no acetate, polyamide, acrylic, nylon, polyester, etc.). please check the fabric to avoid disappointments.
• plant dyes are translucent, whatever color is used as a “base”, it’s going to be visible after dyeing. depending on how the pieces were dyed, some of the already coloured pieces might take up the dye poorly, the safest option is white. you can message me if you’re not sure! [email protected]
• clothes have to be washed before dyeing; for cotton and linen wash with baking soda (natron) without bleach or softeners. for wool and silk rinse with wool soap.
• I offer guidance, materials and tool, you do the dyeing. If you want me to upcycle your pieces, you can mail them in advance, booking here
