Bamboo Osage Orange Socks

Bamboo Socks Dyed With Osage Orange Natural Dye

Since you saw the Osage Orange Chiffon Scarf yesterday, you can contrast the color difference with these Osage Orange dyed socks.  These were actually batched for a much longer time (ie over night or all day, vs. about two hours) and yet the color is more brilliant on silk than bamboo.  Plant fibers are great because they are vegan and don't have as much impact on the food chain.  But plant fibers just don't take color the way wool and silk do.  These ladies socks were custom ordered and I can make you a pair in some pastel tone such as peach/salmon or soft yellow as here.  Just send me an email or reach me at etsy by sending a conversation.
