Fri, February 15, 2008 - 1:27 AMOh I LOVE Earthues!
Lovely, big exposed-brick space. Great staff, soft-spoken and extremely helpful! If I'm not mistaken, last I was there they had whole cochineal! (Yay, red-dye 40!) Oh, it's been too long...
Can you tell that I love them?

Sun, February 17, 2008 - 10:22 PMI was going to recommend earthues, the company that I work for uses them for all of our organic & 100% biodegradable clothing line.
With most natural dyes, you are limited in the color palettes, however at my last meeting with them, they had vibrant yellows and pink shades.
