Despite this, naturally dyes fibres may fade, darken or change slightly over the course of their lifetime. This is part of the character (some would say part of the charm) of organic matter products, and these fractional changes over a long period of time should not discourage you from using environmentally friendly yarns. You may also find that some excess colour particles come loose during the first few washes. As I hand grind the dyestuffs, the particles vary in size and some flakes may stick to the yarn through the final rinses. This is not a dye fastness issue, but you may wish to gently rinse and dry darker colours before knitting with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCare and washing: \u003c\/span\u003eYour finished item should be gently hand washed in warm water using a mild detergent (I like ecover or no rinse wool products such as eucalan), before being laid flat to dry. I would not recommend harsh machine washing for natural dyes. All yarns in this pack have been dyed in small batches using age-old techniques with natural products, many of which I have foraged locally from flower, vegetable and tree matter. Only one 'animal' dye is used by us; Cochineal pink, which comes from insects harvested by a farmer called Lorenzo in The Canary Islands. I have included it in the range because of the vibrancy of the colours that can be achieved with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCustom Orders: \u003c\/span\u003eAll colours are available to buy on their own, either as 10g mini skeins on the same 4ply\/sock base, or in 50g or 100g quantities on the yarn base of your choice (eg: lace, DK, Aran, Chunky). It costs no extra, so please message me with your requirements and I will get back to you with cost \u0026amp; timescale.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folkestone Harbour Yarn","offers":[{"title":"Onion Ochre","offer_id":57429715779959,"sku":"NDMINISK","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Weld Yellow","offer_id":57429715812727,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Avocado Cream","offer_id":57429715845495,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hibiscus Grey","offer_id":57429715878263,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Walnut","offer_id":57429715911031,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Ind + Onion","offer_id":57429715943799,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chartreuse I + T","offer_id":57429715976567,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mugwort Green","offer_id":57429716009335,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chlorophyllin Green","offer_id":57429716042103,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Baby Blue Woad","offer_id":57429716074871,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Baby Blue Indigo","offer_id":57429716107639,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue Fade","offer_id":57429716140407,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hydrangeas I + C","offer_id":57429716173175,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Purple Ind + Coch","offer_id":57429716205943,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lilac Ind + Coch","offer_id":57429716238711,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Raspberry Coch","offer_id":57429716271479,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bright Pink Coch","offer_id":57429716304247,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rose Pink Mad + Braz","offer_id":57429716337015,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brazilwood Red","offer_id":57429716369783,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Madder Coral","offer_id":57429716402551,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Madder Peach Pink","offer_id":57429716435319,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red Sandalwood","offer_id":57429716468087,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orange Turm + Sapp","offer_id":57429716500855,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Apricot Brazil + Tur","offer_id":57429716533623,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Annatto Orange","offer_id":57429716566391,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light Orange C + T","offer_id":57429716599159,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/5204\/3042\/files\/3e825152-il_fullxfull.8408449302_gtcj.jpg?v=1788284798"},{"product_id":"hand-embroidered-zip-project-bag-naturally-dyed-cotton-pouch","title":"Hand Embroidered Zip Project Bag: Naturally Dyed Cotton Pouch","description":"\u003cp\u003eFolk Diamond and chevrons hand embroidered naturally dyed zip top bag in pink and blue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan be used as a project bag for your knitting, crochet or embroidery projects as it can fit 3-4 balls of yarn plus tools.
