Dusty Rose
A soft, muted rose pink naturally dyed with madder root. Not bright bubblegum and not pale pastel, but a dusty rose with subtle mauve undertones, the color of old roses and faded textiles. We get the muted quality by controlling the madder dyebath and using alkaline modifiers to shift toward pink.

Care
Hand wash with cold water and mild detergent. Do not bleach. Dry flat away from direct sunlight. All of our colorways are tonal – with shifts in color from light to dark as part of the natural dyeing process. Colors and tones may vary from the images online. Pre-wash in cold water – by hand – before use, as natural dyes may release excess color during the first several washes.
