Teresa is the owner of Texture Clothing, in Bellingham, WA. Texture was born out of the desire to create clothing that fit bodies with curves, align with her eco-friendly and intentional values, and create one-of-a-kind clothing using various dye techniques. In our collaboration with Teresa, she used a mineral dye method with iron rust. Iron rust creates colors that blend well together and create interesting patterns. It adheres to cloth well and doesn’t fade out like other natural dyes. During this collaboration, Teresa was able to expand her comfort zone by working with a larger quantity of garments. You can find her own small batch work here.
A little about the process of mineral dying with iron rust: First, the garments are scoured (washed) to get rid of any residue from the knitting process. Then, they are soaked in a both of rusty water and hung to dry. After being completely dry, the garments are then wrapped with metal wire (iron) in various sections. Then each item was sprayed with tannin in the form of black tea. They sat for a week, allowing the rust to take action, spraying them with tannin in places where the rust wasn’t forming. Finally, each garment was untied and washed for a final time.
We recommend washing your dyed items with like-colors for the first few washes, then as normal.
