Fox and Rabbit Hand Dye – Waratah

Released at Needlework Expo March 2021

Linen is sold in 1 yard pieces.  All fabrics are dyed on a Zweigart base unless otherwise noted.

Due to the nature of the hand dying process and the structure of fabric counts, the color displayed on the item is a representation of the color dyed on 36 count linen.  The color could be lighter or darker depending upon the base linen and the weather during the dying process.

Whilst we do our best, we cannot guarantee colorfastness of any hand dyed fabric.  If you wash your fabric, some inert dye might be released.

The size and fabric count of each cut is measured prior to dying.  Some shrinkage could occur during the dyeing process.

Description

From Wikipedia

Waratah(Telopea) is an Australian-endemic genus of five species of large shrubs or small trees, native to the southeastern parts of Australia (New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania). The most well-known species in this genus is Telopea speciosissima, which has bright red flowers and is the NSW state emblem. The Waratah is a member of the plant family Proteaceae, a family of flowering plants distributed in the Southern Hemisphere. The key diagnostic feature of Proteaceae is the inflorescence, which is often very large, brightly coloured and showy, consisting of many small flowers densely packed into a compact head or spike. Species of waratah boast such inflorescences ranging from 6–15 cm in diameter with a basal ring of coloured bracts. The leaves are spirally arranged, 10–20 cm long and 2–3 cm broad with entire or serrated margins. The name waratah comes from the Eora Aboriginal people, the original inhabitants of the Sydney area
