This is a guide to natural dye with Tea.
Natural dye is an environmental friendly choice of dyeing that
is often suggested upon when the subject of sustainable dye is brought up.
Natural dye is environmental friendly because all product use are
bio-degradable and as the word suggest, from a natural source.
However, natural dye is not suitable for large scale production
because excessive waste can be created
and if it is not treated, can be damaging to the immediate surroundings.
We recommend that Tea Dye be used in a way to
re-colour your existing garments.
As clothes colour fades away with time and washes,
It is necessary for us to re-colour them so that they can used longer.
This video is a sample of how it can be done
and it comes with proportion of dye stuff needed.
