The Hand Dyed Fabric Store

The hand dyed fabric store features many different dyeing techniques that are prominently displayed in full and accurate color.

Only Robert Kaufman's highest quality kona, pimatex and ultra sateen fabrics (100% cotton) are used in creating Jeanette's hand dyes. We also use only the highest quality Dharma Fiber Reactive Procion Dyes from Dharma Trading Company.

Washing and rinsing the fabric 12 times after the dying process is complete ensures that you can use your new hand dyes the day you receive them. Click to learn more about the fabric, the fabric dyes and the hand dyed process used for each piece.
