Natural Dye:
- Our natural dye plants are grown on MRC's fully certified organic and regenerative farm, New Leaf Agriculture in Elgin, Texas. Organic dyes are biodegradable, nontoxic and nonallergic.
- For our yellow color, Marigold, we use Mexican Mint Marigold plants, sometimes known as Texas Tarragon. We harvest all 800 marigolds every fall by cutting off the tops of the plants, allowing for yearly regrowth. The entire plant is used for the natural dying process.
Care:
- Due to our natural dye, fading is possible, so don't wash often.
- Please hand or machine wash on cold with pH neutral soap only.
- Lay flat to dry and limit sun exposure.
