Care Instructions
There are a few things that you can do to help prolong the life of your naturally dyed knitted or crocheted items. Treat them as you would any other wool or delicate items.

It’s recommended that you gently hand wash your items in cool water (hand hot, rather the scalding hot), don’t agitate them too much and gently squeeze the water out rather than wringing. Use a gentle PH neutral product.  Many of the natural dyes are PH and mineral sensitive (it’s what I find special about them and what enables many of the subtle colour variations), but that means that if you use a detergent that is very acid or very alkali you might end up modifying the colour in a way you didn’t intend! So, stick with a PH neutral product, Fairy Liquid perhaps, and avoid any products with Citric Acid in.

Allow your things to dry naturally, rather than tumble drying, out of direct sunlight.  Natural dyes are light fast, but, like synthetic dye, if you leave your items in a sunny window there will be fading over time. Wash dark colours separately.

Yarn and fibre are rinsed carefully until the water runs clear, occasionally a small amount of excess dye may rinse out in the first couple of washes.
