By Brit
I&#8217;ve been reading volumes of information about dyes, synthetic and natural, in the last few weeks and I&#8217;m horrified at the pollution and devastating health issues caused by several popular synthetic dyes. I am also saddened to learn of limitations on environmentally friendly natural dyes. It&#8217;s enough to make a girl contemplate wearing only [...]]]></description>
