Listing Details:
Items in photos are grouped as best I could for visual clarity. If required for your project, please look up colorway numbers/names for further information and better photos from the manufacturers. Please don't rely on my photos to color-match for critical project purposes. Monitor calibration and color settings will affect appearance.
All items being sold in this listing are shown in MAIN photograph, other photographs are to provide close up shots or stock photography of the same items for detail clarification.
Feel free to message me about putting together custom eBay Listings for lots based on the items shown in my listings. No promises but I will do my best to accommodate :D
Our Philosophy and Capacity re: Hand-Dyeing (A.K.A. “Our Dyeing Wish”):
Our main focus is curation and distribution of crafting supplies, but our foray into dyeing came as a result of lifelong interest in the arts and crafting. We strive to learn as much as we can about as many different crafts, and over time have come to embrace and cultivate many disciplines including: Sewing, hand-embroidery, knitting, leatherwork, woodwork, guitar building, guitar effects-pedal building and circuits, miniature modeling and painting, fine arts, and more! Now, one of our most recent endeavors into autodidatic crafting has been the hand-dyeing of natural fibers like Cotton and Linen (flax) using fiber-reactive dyes.
We work in STEM fields, and it is unlikely our sales of Hand-Dyed fibers will ever become more profitable than our industry jobs so we are NOT aiming for massive expansion or up-scaling our batches. All of our hand-dyes come from tiny micro-batches out of our home in Wisconsin. We embrace the ideas of "perfect imperfections" and "unique is beautiful". As a result, we do NOT keep track of formulae or colorway information for our creations, and have no immediate plans to do so. By ordering our hand dyes, you are receiving one-of-a-kind creations that would be hard to precisely replicate... even for us. Perfect for a special project where every detail demands thoughtful consideration and passion baked-in.
For us, this is an art we are trying to "keep alive" and a personal interest. The items you purchased were created by real, USA-based artisans creating purely for the sake of pleasure and learning. Beyond those of the base materials we use, our products have no profit-based ethics to even be considered. The people (mostly me, the owner, and my partner) fully own the supplies and materials we use to create, and we personally run this business working for ourselves.
We only sell items we find beauty in, even if it's not the beauty of perfection... thus our hand-dyes may be "imperfect," and often you will be supporting us by purchasing creative experiments as we work toward mastery of this delightful craft. However, we will never send you "flukes" (things we personally don't think look nice, or ruined batches). You will always be receiving the EXACT items shown in the photographs for our hand-dye listings, so please examine them carefully.
We cannot guarantee color matching via photographs or on monitors. We hope you enjoy the work we put into these colors made just for you.
Colorfastness Information:
Unless otherwise noted we use fiber-reactive dyes, which form covalent bonds with the cellulose fibers that make up natural plant-based fibers like Cotton and Flax. We then hand-wash the excess dyes out, before drying and possibly steam pressing. The resulting color should MOSTLY be colorfast, but we recommend doing tests and perhaps additional washing steps (especially with dyes containing reds or fuchsias) to ensure residual dyestuffs will not cause bleeding or other undesirable consequences. We are a relatively new dye shop, so we do not provide any colorfastness guarantees and our items are sold AS-IS.
The Fine Print:
Thanks for supporting a small US-based crafter/maker/business. I cannot compete on price with "the big players" so I hope to bring you value with custom/exclusive/valuable lots and a truly caring one-on-one customer service experience :)
I will make every attempt to package carefully and not damage items unnecessarily... This lot will be shipped with care, wrapped up and packaged well.
I am just a hobbyist/maker/painter running a tiny micro-business, so unfortunately I am unable to accept returns due to logistics issues. All sales are final and sold as-is, so please read carefully and examine all photos before purchase. We go through extra efforts to disclose even minor flaws to the best of our ability.
Please see store policies and disclaimers on our store page prior to purchase.
Thank you for your consideration and have a wonderful day!!
