Naturally dyed with woad – due to the nature of dye method color may vary
Woad (Isatis tinctoria) is a perennial herb that grows best in southern Europe where it produces the highest quality dye. Woad has indigo as the main dyeing component. The plant has an extremely long root, making it almost indestructable. The dye comes out of the dye bath yellow-green until oxidation turns it blue. When given the right conditions, the woad leaves start to ferment, excreting pigment to the water. It was the reigning blue dye in Europe until the arrival of indigo in the middle of the 16th century. The plant has healing properties.

- Linen is a bast fiber.
- Linen requires no irrigation and can be grown even in poor soil. It requires no chemicals.
- Linen is grown in rotation, nourishing the soil for other crops. It is also always non-GMO.
- Today, it is one of the only textile fibers still grown in Europe.
- A breathable fabric, linen is strong and absorbent. It’s more durable and dries faster than cotton. Its naturally cooling properties make it an appealing summer wear and layering option.
- Linen production is almost zero waste and leftovers like flax dust can be used for insulation. The seeds can provide oil and the by-products of linen production can be processed into a pulp.
- As linen fabric is said to get softer with age and each wash, having and caring for a linen garment for a long time is covetable.
We recommend washing on a gentle cycle using natural detergent and hang drying.
