Hand-dyed fabrics

£15.00

In this collection you get 8-10 pieces of hand-dyed fabric that may include vintage linen, cotton or silk. Pieces vary in size but each pack is about equivalent to three-quarters of a square yard or so in total and weighs around 100g (some a bit more, some a bit less).

Fabrics vary from medium-heavy weight cotton or linen to very lightweight silk or cotton.

All fabrics have been hand-dyed by me, using procion fibre reactive dye. Fabrics have been well-rinsed and washed, but some colour may still remain and I can't guarantee that anything is completely colourfast. If you need to wash your finished project please wash the fabrics before you begin, and use only mild detergent and no more than 30 degrees C (this recommendation is more to protect the fabrics than the colour, as some fabrics may be elderly or delicate).

Some fabrics were originally table linens or clothing, so there will be some evidence of seams or hems in some cases. There may also be signs of wear and/or age.

Please use the drop down menu to select colours:

sky blues (medium/light clear blues)
dark blues (rich dark blues)
marine (greenish-blues, turquoise, ocean colours)
maroon (rich dark brownish-purples, burgundy, dark grape)
warm greens (yellowish-greens, olives, golden greens)
cool greens (blueish/greyish-greens)
pink/violet/mauves (pinkish purples, purplish pinks)
blue/violets (blueish purples, purplish blues, pale grey/lilacs)
orange (tangerine to terracotta)
yellows (lemon and sunshine yellows with pinks - slightly smaller pieces in this one)

UK postage will be via standard first class; all overseas post will be via Royal Mail International Tracked.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION for non-UK customers - please read before ordering:

- Please ensure that you pick the correct country from the drop-down menu. Any orders where the address and country do not correspond (for example, a US address with UK as the country) will be cancelled and refunded. Choosing UK, when you don’t live in the UK, will cause the automated checkout to apply UK shipping rates. You must pay the correct shipping rate for your country.
- Your purchase may be subject to additional customs charges depending on your location. You can use online import tax calculators to estimate what the additional import charges will be before you buy. Please be aware that I have no control at all over how much you will be charged in import duties; it is your responsibility to find out before making a purchase.
- Your customs office may occasionally open and inspect your parcel before delivering it to you. Please understand that I have no control over this.
- When paying by card, please try and remember your purchase when your bank statement arrives. The amount will look different because of the currency conversion. If you initiate a dispute with your bank because you don’t recognise the amount, I have to prove to your bank that you did make the purchase, and I am charged a non-refundable fee even if the purchase was genuine. Please contact me before initiating a dispute if you are in any doubt about your purchase.
