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.

Flora Adora Fibers naturally dyed yarns are created using home grown, sustainably foraged & traditional natural dyes, resulting in colors that make your eyes, and heart, sing with delight.
I bought this for the shawl collar of a cardigan after over a year of searching for just the right suri alpaca and this is exactly what I wanted. The Jewel Tones colorway knits up like a gorgeous watercolor of a sunset and the yarn is wonderfully soft.
