AM I GOING TO RECEIVE THE EXACT COLOR I SEE ON YOUR WEBSITE?
The beauty of hand-dyed materials is that you don't get the exact color or pattern as someone else, even though the same dyeing techniques are used.
What I did was I picked the color from the photo of my throw pillows using an eye dropper color app. It is as close to the actual color of the pillow as possible.
A word on Indigo: I have to re-dip the fabric in the Indigo dye pot at least 7 times to get a dark, rich blue.
A word on natural dyes: Leaving the fabric in a natural dye pot over night lets the dye saturate the fibers of the fabric for a darker color.
DO THE COLORS FADE?
With excessive washing, your throw pillows will lose its color. I suggest turning the pillow cover inside out using cold water, wash with like colors, and hang to dry.
You can iron the hemp midweight throw pillow cover and the hemp canvas throw pillow cover using the hot setting. Use a light/silk setting for throw pillow covers made from hemp/silk.
I use Synthrapol as a pre-wash (clean the fabric) and as an after-wash; it helps bind the dye to the fabric. I also use this when dyeing with Indigo so the dye doesn't rub off onto your skin.
