NATURALLY DYED ITEMS DO BEST WITH NATURAL DETERGENTS AND COLD WATER. ALL DYED ITEMS, SYNTHETIC AND NATURAL ALIKE, ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO CHANGE BY HEAT, WHETHER IT BE DIRECT SUNLIGHT, HOT WATER WHEN WASHING OR HEAT WHEN DRYING.

MY PREFERRED WASHING METHOD USES A SMALL AMOUNT OF VINEGAR (1/4 CUP PER LOAD OR A COUPLE TABLESPOONS PER GARMENT) IN COLD WATER, HAND WASH IS BEST, DELICATE CYCLE WORKS TOO. HANG OR LAY FLAT TO DRY.

FOR SILK: HAND WASH ONLY
