Long Sleeve T
About
Crazy soft long sleeve t shirt dyed with eucalyptus bark and iron.
Eucalyptus trees are native to Australia but can be found everywhere in Portugal. They have even been classified as an invasive species here. They grow incredibly quickly, outcompete other plants for water, and burn easily causing many wildfires. Eucalyptus is a very accessible dye plant since the bark (which peels off naturally) can be used for browns and the leaves provide a range of yellow, coral, and orange colors.
Material: 100% Organic Cotton

Care
Care for your naturally dyed clothing by:
-
Washing with pH neutral natural soap in cold water. Please note, the first time you wash the garment some extra dye might come out.
-
Drying out of the sun.
Botanical dyes are often referred to as living colour because of the way the shades mature with time.... depending on the dye used, the pigments will have varying sensitivity to sunlight and washing. Fabrics are treated before dyeing to ensure maximum fatness of the color, but years from now if you'd like to give new life to your garment, I encourage you to experiment with your own techniques.
