Natural dyes are like snowflakes, each skein will vary and you should alternate skeins throughout your piece to achieve a subtle blend. Do not dry or store in direct sun. Hand wash & care for it like the heirloom it is. Natural dyes age & fade like your favorite jeans, getting softer in hue with time. This is not a defect. It’s nature.
