Botanical Kit of the Month Club!

Botanical Dye Kits are a great gift and project for anyone! They allow you to experiment with natural dyeing and learn the basics of this beautiful process. All of our kits include flowers that have been grown in the beauty of the Hudson Valley along with other dyestuff that has been ethically sourced to create a beautiful one-of-a-kind piece. 

​

Each kit has been lovingly created to bring you a new and exciting kit experience each month! Kits will start shipping November 15, 2022.

 

Give the gift of a monthly creative experience that will inspire you to connect with nature. Each month shows up in a beautiful box designed by Michelle Moore. Inside the kit will be everything you need to create the project, plus you will learn "how to". Each kit/project is more than just a project, it is a skill that you can use to create on your own. 

 

Each month will also have access to a video that will explain the contents of the box, tips and tricks for using the kit, and a place to access to a private group for members to showcase their creations.

Your Kit (May) Include- Each Kit will vary based on the seasonality of the flowers/dyestuff (unless it is noted). All colors below are based off of the way in which your fabric was pretreated/mordanted. Other mordants will give various results.

​

Flowers in general are known to have medium to low fastness- meaning they will not stay as long as other dyestuff that has a very strong fastness (like indigo). However, I have found that with the mix of ingredients, the colors hold up very well after many washes. The color will eventually fade, as it does with any dyed garment. But- because your fabric has been pre treated, you can experiment with your own flowers, and natural elements and simply dye/steam it again.
