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 and was also used to dye the cloth used for mummies in Egypt.
Organic cotton
Origin: Brazil, India, Egypt
Certificates: GOTS, Oeko-Tex, OCS 100
- Cotton is a natural seed fiber.
-
It is durable, breathable, absorbent, and soft. Cotton is ideal for dyeing and printing. The material is also biodegradable and hypoallergenic.
- Nearly all cotton is grown in rotation, but conventional cotton generally has a higher environmental impact.
- Baserange sources organic cotton, as we want to ensure that no harmful chemicals are used in the production process, water consumption is controlled, water is not contaminated and workers' rights are also preserved.
- Organic agriculture uses agronomic, biological, and mechanical techniques instead of synthetic chemicals.
- Organic cotton supports good soil health and ecosystems and is not harmful to human health or the environment. No pesticides or fertilizers are used. Most of the organic cotton we use is also rain-fed and doesn’t require much irrigation.
We recommend washing at a maximum 30°C and a gentle cycle, as heat and friction wear the fabric down. Underwear, bedding and towels can be washed at 40 or above. Use a laundry bag to protect delicates like underwear. The gentle cycle helps reduce creases and friction. Lightly pull/stretch the garment to straighten it before hanging it to dry.
Remove stains when you get them, as cotton absorbs stains more than synthetic fabrics. Avoid bleach, which can discolor the fabric. Avoid fabric softener, as it can coat the fibers, lessening the natural absorbency and breathability.
Hang dry to avoid creases.
