THE COLOURS

We create our colours using a variety of natural plant dyes, ranging from seasonal seaweeds and botanicals to food waste. Each dye batch is a unique creation, with some colours making a comeback and others being one-of-a-kind treasures that might not return for a long time—or ever!

Every batch is its own little adventure. It’s a process of trial and error, and we’re constantly amazed by the magic plants bring to our craft. For us, this is the true joy of what we do: celebrating the artistry and uniqueness of every dye.

​

We release a fresh dye drop every 3–4 months, so keep an eye out for new and exciting shades! If you spot a colour you love, don’t wait—it might not be available again. Below are some examples of our dye baths for inspiration.

​

For custom colours, feel free to get in touch. We’ve tested a wide range of plants and food-based dyes and have a catalogue of options we’d love to explore with you. Please note that custom orders may include additional fees.

DYE DROP 01

Our first drop consists of two colours
01 / the most perfect pink, not peachy but not bubblegum, just right! dyed using both stones and skins of avocados that have been lovingly collected in the freezers of us and our friends and families over the last few months. Avocado is obviously not locally grown or seasonal so this wont be a regular colour for us, its taken a few months to collect enough for a good bath. 
02/ a pale peachy shell, dyed using Bladderwrack Seaweed, a incredibly abundant local resource, and the cornerstone of FLOTS' conception. Bladderwrack is one of the dyes we will be reaching for over and over. This is a delicate pale shade of a winter batch which has a slight lean towards orange.
