This has been ecologically dyed using rose madder, sometimes referred to as Rose Madder Genuine, the crushed root of the Common Madder plant Rubia Tinctorium. The ancient Egyptians used rose madder to create pinkish rose-colored textile dyes. The Colour Index name used by paint and textile chemists for Rose Madder is Natural Red 9 (NR9).

To preserve the colour, please hand wash using something like Soak™, dry flat and out of the sun!
