(Tagetes erecta)
Varying shades of yellow and orange marigold petals that have been removed from the seed heads. These are wonderful to use for bundle dyeing and eco-printing experiments or to set up a potent immersion dye bath.
Be sure to check out our new marigold options this year. We have whole marigold flowers, marigold garlands, and finely ground marigold petals.
Marigolds yield beautiful shades from bright to warm yellows, greens, and browns depending on the fiber type and mordants used.

Grown, harvested, and cured by Sara here in southwestern Colorado on Ancient Future Farm. Our family has been tending this land and soil with regenerative growing methods since 2005. Our soil is nurtured through extensive cover cropping and our crops are fertilized with compost that we make right here on site. We never use synthetic chemicals such as herbicides, pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or fungicides. Our dye flowers are harvested every day by hand when they reach their optimal potential and then carefully cured in our curing room out of direct sunlight. All of our natural dyestuffs are packaged in heat sealed envelopes to keep them fresh. For best results we recommend using them within a year.
