Handmade Acknowledgement:
- Variations in color and dye design will occur.
- All of our products are handmade in small batches. Please allow up to a two-week turnaround for production.
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.
- For our gray/green color, Iron, we use ferrous sulfate iron salts on top of our marigold dye to "sadden" the color. Ferrous sulfate is the same as iron supplements we take for an iron deficiency in our bodies.
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.
