 Minor bleeding may occur on first wash. Each skein is unique, purchase multi-skein projects together & alternate rows. Colors are shown as accurately as possible, but Monitors will vary.

You can prolong the life of all textiles and colors by washing by hand in cool water and avoiding exposure to strong, direct, prolonged light. For yarn, air drying on a flat surface will prevent stretching and sagging. A neutral wool wash is recommended. I currently use non scented Eucalan or Orvus.

 


Frequently Asked Questions

Where do your yarns come from?

At present, yarns come from the US, Britain and Canada. Bit by bit, I'm adding yarns made from small US farm wools. Some yarns are here for the long haul, others are limited editions.

Are natural dyes color fast and fade resistant?

There is an almost infinite number of natural dye sources but many are not light or wash fast. Flora Adora Fibers uses natural dyes that are known to have excellent to good light and wash fastness. Food grade mordants are used to bind dyes and permanently fix them to the fibers.

Both commercial and natural dyes will fade with extended exposure to strong light.

Washing yarns and finished projects in cool water with a pH neutral soap will further help maintain colors.

Awsome fiber

I love Flora Adora Fiber's donegal tweed. I've knitted a sweater and a baby cardigan with it. I just bought another batch (catching a sale!) In a pretty caramel color. I think it's destined for a vest. Everyone was eyeing it and hinting potential projects for it, even my husband. This is an amazing fiber! The drape is perfect and the colors are so lovely! And I love that the dyes come from local homemade plant dyes. Plus Sharon is awesome! Sharing her latest projects and learning experiences.
