This skein has been dyed with tansy harvested from my local guild's dye garden and wild harvested willowbark for a beautiful mottled gold color.

I use food grade alum as a mordant.

Tansy is a traditional dye herb as well as having various uses in herbal medicine including treatment for skin ailments, swelling, worms, and gout. Willowbark was traditionally used for pain relief and is what our modern aspirin was originally derived from.

*Handwash care is recommended*
While the wool ihas gone through the superwash process to prevent it from felting, it is best to consider this an insurance policy against accidental inappropriate laundering. When handwashed in cool water and air dried, this cowl will stay soft and elegant for years to come.

All items ship from a smoke-free, pet-friendly, low scent home studio.

As this is a hand-dyed fiber, there are no dye-lots and braids may vary slightly. Alternating skeins is recommended. Some discharge of dye in the first few washings is normal and to be expected, it can be triggered by changes in ph and mineral content of the wash and/or rinse water. I dye in my home studio using well water whose ph and mineral content varies seasonally and may be different from yours. Every effort is made to ensure color is displayed correctly in photos, however monitors may vary.
