Clothing Care

It is normal for your garment to be a little snug at first, it will relax out a little both in fit and length after 15-20 mins of wearing. It will return to its original snugness when washed and dried in electric dryer. Our experience is you can add a little length to garment and sleeve by gently tugging garment.

Low impact dye color

We recommend washing your garment alone the first time and then with like colors in cold water. This will also help even out any slight tone variations due to the hand dyeing process. You can toss these garment in the dryer on a medium-high heat. In fact washing and drying helps return our knits to there original size after they have stretched and conformed to your body. We love using a diluted castile soap such as Dr Bronner's. If you have a top loader add the soap first and let it mix up a while before adding clothes. If you have a front loader and add the soap separately you should be good to go !

Natural Plant Dyes + BLOCKPRINT

It is normal for your Naturally Dyed garment to be a little more stiff and not as soft as our Low Impact Dye options. They will soften up with each wash and dry. Plant dyes can easily be bleached by natural soaps, deodorants, and detergents and as such require more effort and mindfulness when worn and laundered. Acidic foods such as orange juice can remove natural dye colors if spilled on the naturally dyed fabric. Because natural dyes are in essence a stain themselves naturally dyed garments are not stain resistant.

• Machine wash separately with cold water; use gentle cycle.
• use minimum amount of castile soap or mild detergent such as D. Bronner's.
• Do not pour or apply detergent directly onto fabric. For top loaders allow machine to agitate with soapy water first before adding garment to ensure soap is well mixed and diluted first.
• Do not use detergent that contains enzymes, chlorine bleach, baking soda, fabric softeners, borax, stain removers, or that is formulated for wool.
• If you line dry, do so in the shade and out of direct light.
