Red Thicket Fabrics are hand dyed by me. Because this is hand dyed fabric (not printed), no two pieces are alike and each piece has variations in patterns and shade. While I do wish my fabric was colorfast and I attempt to make it so, I cannot put a disclaimer that it is. All dyed fabric may bleed. If you must wash your fabric, wash in very cold water. Fabric count mentioned on each piece is the predyed count. Fabric measurements are taken after dying.
