This fabric is dyed with archival dyes using a traditional dip dye method of dyeing. This method results in a slightly softer look and feel with some slight marbling. A picture of the Oatmeal Rustico base fabric BEFORE DYEING has been provided so that you can see how the darker threads are woven through it. After dyeing, these threads are slightly darker than the main color - giving the fabric a kind of homespun, primitive look.
*THIS IS A HAND DYED FABRIC. Please base your color selection on the DMC reference - not the picture - as all computer monitors, tablets, phones, etc ... interpret color differently and the image you are seeing on your device may not be an accurate depiction of the actual color. Pieces may vary from slightly lighter or darker and have more or less shading than seen in the image. Please note that not all fibers accept color the same - so a particular color in one trim or fabric might not be exactly the same shade in another trim or fabric. If you receive your fabric and the color is not suitable, please contact us to discuss a possible return.
**The sample size will be an approximate 3x5 inch swatch of our hand dyed Zweigart Oatmeal Rustico Aida. Count size may vary as we use whatever leftover fabric we may have to create the sample pieces. Please note that this is a very small sample of a much larger piece of fabric - each with its own unique shading. Its purpose is to give you an example of the overall color so that you can determine if it will work for your project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our shipping time varies depending on how busy we are. Our hand dyed fabric is dyed to order - in the order it is received and the processing time can be anywhere from 2-10 business days.

Corrections
Dream Big Little Mermaid - the floss list is incorrect on some charts. Please use the following information: A is E3949, B is 793, C is 4030 and D is 3810. All are DMC colors.
Willamina's Woolens - the fabric color used in the model should read Ocean Traditional not Midnight.
Sunflower Street - for the letter P - the floss color should be 744
Custom and personalized orders
In some situations, we may be able to accomodate custom sizes on our hand-dyed fabrics. It will be considered on a case by case basis. Please contact us for individual pricing. At this time, we are no longer doing custom colors. Larger sizes of our non-hand-dyed fabrics can be special ordered - please contact us for specifics and pricing.
Fabric Color/Images
Every computer, tablet, phone - represents color in a different way. Typically, this is no where near what the color actually looks like in person. Please do not base your fabric choice on the image you are seeing - for every listing, there is a DMC floss reference. Please use THIS information when deciding on a color for your project. But also remember that even this is just a reference. The hand-dyed fabric is just that - it is dyed entirely by hand - not mass produced in a factory some where. Each and every piece will be slightly different. We are also available for help and suggestions, please contact us and we will be happy to provide assistance.
Our Dyeing Process
We use two different methods to dye our fabric.
The Colet method of dyeing (a brush-on technique) is used for the Aida fabric in the BD Group. This technique produces a higher saturation of color and darker colors with heavier shading. The colors can be a light and dark version of the same color or a mixture of two or three different colors. The fabric itself retains the sizing, is stiffer and has virtually no wrinkles.
A traditional dip dye technique is used for the Aida in the DD Group, as well as, the Linda, Lugana and Linen fabrics. This technique produces softer color variations and a more solid color appearance with a bit of marbling. The fabric itself has a softer feel and will have some wrinkling.
Delayed shipping/lost in the mail items/un-delivered items
We ship on the same day that the shipping label is printed. We cannot control how long it takes for USPS or Fed Ex to get the item to you. Since Covid, there have been delays in customers receiving the orders. However, items are rarely actually lost in the mail. In the event that USPS marks an item as "in transit, arriving late" - we will not issue a refund or mail a new item out until at least 30 days have passed with out any updated tracking information. After 30 days, we will assume the item is truly lost in the mail and a new item will be shipped or a refund will be issued. In the event that USPS says an item has been delivered when it has not been - it is the buyers responsibility to contact USPS and file a claim for a lost item.
The following items cannot be returned or exchanged
Because of the nature of these items, we cannot accept returns for:
- custom orders
