At Petals and Threads, every piece begins with flowers that once decorated prayers and celebrations. Our natural dyes are safe for you — but unlike chemical dyes, they don’t last forever if neglected. Here’s why gentle care matters.
Why Not Machine Wash?
Fast spins, hot water, and harsh soaps damage natural colors. Each thread in your garment holds tiny plant particles — hot water or rough tumbling breaks them down. Hand washing keeps the dye alive.
Why Avoid Direct Sun?
Strong sun rays bleach flower dyes over time — just like petals fading under harsh light. Shade drying keeps your colors soft and vibrant.
Why Natural Soap?
Regular detergents are too aggressive for organic dyes — they strip color. Mild, plant-based soap cleans without harsh chemicals, so the colors stay gentle and true.
Why Embrace Imperfections?
Tiny dye variations, subtle fading — this is nature’s signature, not a defect. Celebrate the way your piece softens and ages. It’s a reminder you’re wearing something living, not synthetic.
