Jacquard Shadowy / Botanical Dye Organic Cotton Snood [Poppy]

Jacquard Shadowy / Botanical Dye Organic Cotton Snood [Poppy] A snood crafted from a lightweight jacquard weave fabric, dyed a soft coral pink with natural dye derived from poppies. The woven botanical pattern, predominantly leaves, emerges subtly on the beautiful, airy fabric. Botanical dyeing primarily uses plant-derived colorants, with approximately 3% of chemical dye added to enhance colorfastness and achieve vibrant hues. This lovely coral pink beautifully complements skin tones, effortlessly becoming a chic accent piece when draped over your shoulders (wide enough to fall across both shoulders). Alternatively, folding it in half creates a snug fit around the neck. The smooth, jacquard shadowy fabric is also ideal for sun protection and keeping cool in air-conditioned environments during summer. A thoughtful choice for gifting. ■ Poppy Flower Meanings: Compassion, Gratitude, Joyful and Kind, among others.

[What is Botanical Dye?] Botanical dyeing is a technique that extracts color from sources such as flowers, leaves, roots, stems, trees, bark, and fruits. A protein-based adhesive is applied evenly to the fabric to bind the fibers and natural dye. Then, a small amount of chemical dye is incorporated to enhance colorfastness without the need for mordants. This process achieves excellent resistance to fading from light, sweat, and washing, while also stabilizing the pigments to express the beautiful colors of nature on fabric. Natural dyes are not as simple as chemical dyes; they are a blend of multiple pigments. Within a single color, various hues interact, with weaker and stronger pigments reflecting light together, casting a gentle impression on our eyes. We hope you enjoy the vibrant yet deep and soft tones of botanical dyes. Botanical dyeing is an eco-friendly method that results in less water pollution and reduced water consumption during the dyeing process, making it gentle on both the planet and people.
