Why I don't and won't dye

Please note that all the chenille featured is the original colour.
When I started making and selling more than 10 years ago I did dye, but quickly found out that home and even commercial dyes did not 'take' in chenille.
The dye runs when washing and fades quickly and the dying process, particularly with some domestic dyes, destroys the integrity of the material.
That's right, dying can damage and weaken the chenille.

So these are the original colours and patterns, don't be fooled by others that have followed me and have to dye material.

And really, when you look at the colours and patterns I have, who'd want to damage or change them.

Miss Zeph.
