*We have just launched our new batch of plant dyed pieces. Proceeds from all plant dyed items labelled Watermelon will be donated to Watermelon Relief in Gaza & proceeds from the Cherry Ballart colour will be donated to Seed Mob. Shop the entire range via the collection UMIFORM botanicals.
Limited edition fine wool socks naturally dyed with various plant dyes from our garden and also from extracts including Organic Indigo, Logwood, Amaranth and Cherry Ballart. Plants are truly magical.
Our inhouse brand UMIFORM botanicals feature products that are hand dyed in Castlemaine in our home studio using tank water. All mordants used are continuously kept and renewed and reused in the next batch. Remaining plant matter is composted through the worm farm. All water run off goes through our grey water reed bed into a chain of ponds that waters the home orchard.

Care: Handwash only in lukewarm water with wool shampoo. Dry out of direct Sunlight. Wool washing programmes of washing machines vary massively, therefore we can not grant warranty for any damages. With regards to using your wool washing machine cycle always use cold. If you choose to wash at 30 degrees the machine will still rinse with cold water and this shock to the fibres can cause the wool to shrink.
