Care
Hand wash cold, lay flat to dry out of 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.
