100% Cotton youth tee size 6/7 dyed with Turmeric root and screen printed with a folk style flower original art design.

Turmeric is a root commonly used for a cooking spice and anti-inflammatory food medicine. It also makes an amazing natural dye producing colors ranging from a pale yellow to a deep orange/rust. Turmeric is a permanent dye when the garment is mordanted properly as this tee was prepared.

—————

My naturally dyed garments go through more than 5 processes from start to finish. I grow many of the flowers and plants that I use for dye. The fabric preparation process takes 3 steps and then there is the dyeing itself. Naturally dyed garments catch the light exquisitely and it is normal for the colors to change a little over time. I only use plants, minerals and insect dyes that have proven to be lightfast and as permanent as natural dyes can be. Expect variation in color concentration as a feature from the earth artisan garments. Each item is truly one of a kind and cannot be duplicated.

The colors of naturally dyed garments hold up best if you hand wash them and hang them to dry, however machine washing on a gentle cycle in cool water is fine too, taking care to use gentle all natural cleansers (or none at all)
