Plant dyed shades

Each dye batch produced a singular tone, often varying slightly from the same recipe done on a different day, so every consignment of knitwear from the batch is unique to the next. 

Shrimp, Coral, Peach - dyed in industrial vats in Yorkshire using the plant extract Madder and naturally occurring mordants for colour fastness. 

Lemon, Yolk - dyed in industrial vats in Yorkshire using the plant extract Weld and naturally occurring mordants for colour fastness.

Lilac, Anthracite - dyed in industrial vats in Yorkshire using the plant extract Logwood and naturally occurring mordants for colour fastness.
