Today's Local Harvest is unique today,

-Select a piece of fabric (100% cotton muslin)

-dip & dye to your liking from Turmeric, Fennel & Carrot tops, Mushroom & Iron, + Onion skins baths.

-Drip dry (not in direct sunlight, as it will significantly fade dye colors).

-Rinse in cool water.

-Apply heat (high setting on dryer, or iron works wells).




Washing:

-Do not use heavy detergents.
-Hand wash in cool water.
