Rudbeckia is also known as Black Eyed Susan

(Rudbeckia hirta)

Rudbeckia yields beautiful green tinted golden shades on cellulose fibers and saturated bronze shades on wool. The colors shift to green tinted browns when shifted with iron, and true greens when dipped in the indigo vat.

Each bag contains 40 grams of whole dried flowers.

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.
