Q: How do I clean my jean cloth uniform?
A: Tub soak in luke warm water with very mild detergent (just shampoo or bath
soap will work NO bleaches, no not even the ones which say they are color safe)
using minimal agitation. Rinse in warm water using minimal agitation. Line dry out in
the sun. ****A note about our feline friends they are attracted to the smell of iron
dyed cloth but you won't be pleased with them if they spray your uniform....critics....
not only will your newly cleaned uniform smell less lovely then when you started but
the amonia they produce will also discolor your vegetable dyed uniform. It's best to
hang dry your uniform out of Fluffy's reach.

Q: What is the difference between dyed and fleece colors?
A: Fleece colors are the natural color of the sheep's fleece. In other words brown
colored Fleece/fiber comes from brown sheep, white colored Fleece/fibe comes from
white sheep, and a tan Fleece/fibe is what happens when someone doesn't lock the
gate... no seriously a tan fleece color can be achieved by mixing the brown sheep's
fleece with the white sheep's fleece.
Once dye has been applied by B. & B. Tart we call it a dyed color.

Q: What is the difference between plains, jean, cassimere & satinette ?
A: The terms plains, satinette , cassimere and jean all refer to the weave structure
in the cloth. All four weaves in the cloth we carry are wool filling threads woven over
cotton warp threads. Plains cloth is a plain weave where the wool thread goes over
one cotton thread and under the next. In jean weave the wool thread goes under 1
cotton thread then over the next two. In cassimere cloth the wool thread goes under
2 cotton threads then over the next two this weave is offset so that there is a defined
twill line on both the face and the back of the cloth. In satinette the wool thread floats
over several cotton threads before going under one. Satinette has most of the wool
on the face of the fabric and most of the cotton on the back to mimic an all wool
fabric.
