HAND-DYED WITH NATURAL DYE
Hand-dyed with low immersion techniques in the Southern California mountains, with joy, love, care and grounding energy by myself.
The natural dye used in this piece, Cochineal, provides a bright, earthy palette to explore as colors in the piece wander from dark to light, pooling in places, making it a one of a kind (OOAK) work of art.
Cochineal is a natural dye from the body of a tiny insect that lives on cacti. It has been used to dye textiles for eons, and more recently in the last few hundred years in make-up, and to color foods. It dyes in gorgeously, rich shades of pinks, magentas, reds and purples.
*This item comes in a variety of natural & hand-dyed options, as shown in the included photo in this listing.
* NOTE: All hand-dyed items are subject to “imperfection” in color consistency, dark and/or light spots, and flecks of surprising colors mixed in due to the nature of the dye process. If you, like me, enjoy these “imperfections” as their own creations, I encourage you to purchase. If you are looking for more consistency, please consider shopping for a factory-dyed item in another shop. Thanks!
* 1 Hand-Dyed Square Cloth is included. All other items (crystals, tarot cards, etc.) are not included in this sale.
DIMENSIONS: approx. 20 inches x 20 inches

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
In order to best care for your hand-dyed piece, be sure to always wash separately.
Color bleed can continue to occur long after the dye process is complete, though generally minimal.
Dyes are handwash-safe and fade-resistant, though long durations in direct sunlight or washing with harsh cleansers will fade most dyes.
An occasional gentle hand washing with a delicate soap and cold water is perfect. Lay flat to dry. Iron as needed and preferred.
