Organic Cotton from India

Sage Green

The newest colours from India

A soft light green.  Very evenly dyed.   Dyed for us with pomegranate rinds, a recycle use from local pomegranate juice production, by a Skal certified 100% Natural Dyeworks that we partner with in India. Cheryl has personally visited the dyeworks twice and affirms that it is clean, healthy, open air, with well compensated, adult workers.  It is also 100% recycle, with waste water and spent dyestuffs used to mulch and water an adjacent garden where the workers can grow vegetables for their families. IMPORTANT NOTE:  this light green is not perfectly fast to light.  It will lighten over time.
