The PureWaterWash™ process is the secret to creating our charming colors. Untreated cotton (or bamboo) thread is woven into gently flowing fabric and brightened with nature’s own plants and minerals. The fabric is then hand dyed repeatedly in soy-water to set the color. As a result, each toy has its own unique appearance and color variance.
