Shades of Tesu

Vegetal or natural dyeing is almost an art form perhaps because of the many variables involved - even plants from the same geographical area, gathered at different times can produce varying shades due to seasonal changes. So if uniformity of shade is important do start with enough dyestuff to meet the full needs of your project.
