Veggie Thread starts as Sewpure, Tex 40 and has been hand-dyed with all-natural dyes which include a variety of vegetation as well as food-grade iron; This thread can be used for anything from machine sewing to hand embroidery. Hand dyeing gives it a lovely variation of darks and lights while maintaining a consistent hue.
You can care for thread that has been vegetable dyed like you would any other textile. We always recommend pH neutral detergent and storing your items in the dark when not in use, as some dyes (natural or synthetic) can fade if left in direct sunlight.
Vegetable dyes do give the thread a little different texture because a very slight amount of vegetable matter is still on and between the cotton fibres. You may notice a bit of dust accumulating on your needle where the thread goes through the eye. This is normal. We have also noticed that the dye process adds a bit of strength to the thread. And, different colours have different effects.
The darker colours where indigo and iron are used tend to do what is known as crocking. That means that if you were to rub the spool of thread against a piece of white fabric you might notice a bit of the color on the fabric. When sewing with a single strand you don’t notice the crocking, and the colour doesn’t bleed into the fabric, but it might leave a slight dust on the sewing machine if a lot of sewing is done. People who use indigo dyed fabrics are used to this, but it’s important that customers who aren’t used to vegetable dyes understand that this can happen.
