ALL THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT WHEN (DYE)ING | Bedding

Download PDF

As we have been working with natural dyes and alchemy for sometime, we have been able to identify the properties of each ingredient and how they impact us- information sourced through anecdotes, old world knowledge and textbooks.


When we embarked on our dyeing journey we underestimated how much the process would impact our mental health and imagination. 


We are forced to surrender and relinquish control, giving agency to these materials,

The tenderness and tactility of working with one’s hands is an acute and intense emotion that is impossible to describe,

The things we have talked about when dyeing feel like a purge of all the pent up challenges of todays urban exhausted world.

These silk and cotton bedding, eyemasks and scrunchies carry the old world remedies of herbs, flowers and spices that will soothe you to sleep, but we believe they also carry with them a talismanic energy to support that our daily societal issues do not seep into the bedroom and into your dreams.

The ethos of our process is to make sure there is as little waste as possible, therefore we have used the remaining fabric to make eye masks and scrunchies. Our modular design allows each side of the pillowcase to have a unique layout, so you are receiving two designs for the price of one!

Care

Your textile is a living, breathing organism. 

Preserve its life by treating it delicately and embrace it as it fades and changes.

  1. Hand wash in cool water with a gentle PH neutral detergent (preferably one formulated for silk - check the labels).
  2. Do not soak, rub or scrub. 
  3. Wash the silk slowly and gently through the soapy water for just a few minutes. 
  4. Thoroughly rinse out the soap and refrain from wringing it out afterwards as this can damage the silk. 
  5. Rather roll the silk gently into a dry, clean towel to extract the water. 
  6. Dry out of direct sunlight.




  1. Alway wash separately, on a cool, delicate cycle or silk setting.
  2. We recommend all silk items should be washed in mesh laundry bags using a gentle PH neutral detergent. The cotton dust bag that your order arrives in can be used to launder and store your silk products. 
  3. Avoid fabric softener.
  4. Hang the silk to dry, out of direct sunlight.
  5. Tumble drying is not recommended. 
  6. Do not machine wash any higher than 30 degrees celsius.



  1. Always iron inside out. 
  2. We recommend placing a press cloth in between the silk and the iron.
  3. Gently press the cloth with the iron and remove quickly, repeat over the area. 
  4. Leave the silk to completely cool before removing from the board, this will prevent making more creases.
