Description
Additional information

Light Red Rose captures the delicate blush of wild roses blooming along Appalachian trails. This soft, romantic colorway offers a sophisticated take on pink—warm enough to avoid saccharine sweetness, light enough to feel fresh and modern.

Dye Sources: Madder & Cochineal with alum mordant. Careful pH control to achieve soft rosy-pink tone. Sourced from Botanical Colors (Oakland, CA), Maiwa Supply (Vancouver, BC).

Pre-Washing (CRITICAL for all red colorways):

Natural red dyes—particularly cochineal, madder, and brazilwood—tend to release excess dye during the first few washes. Always pre-wash your red yarn before starting your project:

Soak skein in cool water with a small amount of pH-neutral soap
Gently agitate, drain, and rinse until water runs clear
Roll in towel to remove excess water
Dry flat away from direct sunlight
Repeat if needed for deeper reds
