Care Instructions

This is a repeatable colorway, but I follow a specific recipe. However, variables such as changes in acid dye lots and how water affects the dye’s strike can cause subtle differences from braid to braid.

Finished products with this top should be washed in cool water with a gentle wool soap. This has been thoroughly rinsed but slight color bleeding may occur upon first washing, especially if warm water is used.

My fiber studio is smoke free and pet friendly. I want you to be thrilled with your purchase and would love to see photos of your finished products!
