Hand wash your item with pH-neutral soap and cool water, then air dry. Our naturally dyed clothing is dyed with plant-based ingredients. They may have a slight, earthy odor and color transfer when new. Please make sure you are conscious of this before making a purchase.
The yarn is dyed by a network of dyers in Argentina. Alexia has been helping us develop dyes and colors for over a year. This yarn is then used in knitting machines by a group of knitters headed by Gloria Ketelhohn in the Greater Buenos Aires area. Hear their stories and see our processes below.
