Care of your hand dyed items We use a low water immersion process to dye our clothing, bags, and sprouts. We use professional Procion MX fiber reactive dyes. While we make every effort to remove all excess dyes, some may remain. We urge you to wash your hand dyes in cold water, with like colors, or alone for at least the first 3 washes. Tumble dry low, or line dry to preserve colors. For sprouts we suggest putting them in a pillowcase and tie, or pin shut. Wash on gentle. For bags you may machine wash gentle, and tumble, or line dry. Enjoy your one of a kind hand dyed items! Please feel free to email with any questions.
