Below are examples of Primary colour wheels
in Shades, tones, pure colour and pastels
We can do lots of gradations. The example above
shows 8 in Forest Green, Teal, Navy and Red Rust.
We do custom dyeing. If you have a pattern that
requires specific colours or gradations of the colours,
just sent us a link to the website for the pattern and
we can match the colours.
We can dye a Colour Wheel of 12 (or 24) beginning with one of each of the following groups:
Red or Fuchsia
Royal, Turquoise or Navy
Bright Yellow or Golden Yellow
We can do pure colours, shades, pastels or tones of any of the colourwheels.
We can do Colour Runs between any of the above two colours.
We can do gradations of any one colour from 2 values up to 8 values.
Our 100% cotton fabric is hand dyed.
> Dyes are MX Procion permanent dyes. We make every effort to insure that all loose dye particles are rinsed out;
however, we recommend washing with like colours in cold water using dyers soap or a gentle soap (see our page on
dyes and chemicals to purchase)
> When combining commercially dyed fabrics and hand-dyed fabrics in a project, we recommend pre-washing the
commercial fabric. Our hand-dyes will not shrink; however commercially dyed fabrics probably will. Commercial fabrics
will also contain sizing.
