The Fibre Garden : Dyed Cotton Top

Showing all 17 results

Exceptionally nice dyed cotton top from a mill in Italy. While cotton isn’t difficult to dye, it’s not easy to achieve these rich shades for the home dyer and it also involves a whole set of dyes and methods that work on cellulose fibres, rather than protein (animal) fibres. We started out with about four shades, and the selection just keeps getting better!
