Dyeing wool with lichens is an ancient tradition, yielding a beautiful range of earthen hues. These products are lichen-dyed with foraged material, collected sustainably from the forest floors and following traditional, natural methods of wool dyeing. This wool-alpaca blend is very soft, supple, and cozy.
Bandana cowls offer a warm, easy, and stylish insulating layer for extra coziness around the neck and shoulders. These cowls are light, soft, and loose, providing warmth without the tangle or bulk of a scarf. Easy to slip on, they're great for layering over shirts and sweaters or tucking into jacket collars.
One size fits all, good for all genders

Color Fastness and Washing Instructions
Products are pre-washed, with natural antimicrobial and anti-odor qualities imparted by the wool and lichens. Color fastness of natural dyes can be more sensitive to washing than that of chemical dyes. Therefore it is recommended to hand wash sparingly, with cool water and a small amount of non-aggressive soap if needed.
A side note…
The lichen-dyed wool is recognized historically for its distinctive scent. This product holds true to that account, with a distinct, lichen-imparted aroma. I think of it as a lovely buy herbal-earthy-sweet kind of smell.
