Town Dyer + Krea Deluxe Organic Cotton Naturally Dyed for Loop
Town Dyer, naturally dyed on Krea Organic Cotton exclusively for Loop!
A new collection of colours has just been dyed for us this Summer!
Naturally dyed organic cotton from Krea Deluxe, hand-dyed for us by Emma Kylmala of Town Dyer.
Emma is passionate about natural dyeing and uses plants from her garden and surrounding area in London to create some gorgeous natural colours. She dyes in small batches based on seasonal plants and we are so happy to have some of her beautiful colours in the Krea Deluxe organic cotton for you!
Emma used to be a Loopette and we love that we now have her back in the shop with us with her natural dyeing!
Each colour name refers to the plants used for that specific colour.
The cotton is perfect for clothes and toys and also for cloths and towels.
Krea Deluxe organic cotton is a sustainable and natural cotton well suited for babies, children and people suffering from allergies.
The cotton is produced in Europe and is organic and GOTS-certified – sown, grown and harvested without use of chemical pesticides and artificial fertilizer. The natural growth creates longer fibers and you will feel this in the yarn, which is both incredibly soft and strong.
We have more of the lovely Krea Deluxe organic cotton in a beautiful soft colour palette in 50 gram balls here as well as the RAW undyed organic cotton in 100g hanks.
Don't miss out on Emma's new book, Dyeing Naturally, now available in our shop and online!
