Are the Ashford dyes toxic?
Ashford dyes are non-hazardous to humans given that they are used correctly and appropriately. These are composed of weak acid dyes fixed with only common white vinegar and heat.
These dyes are compliant with the strict EU regulations and Ashford can confirm that materials coloured with their dyes can be certified under the Oeko-Tex Standard 100. This standard is the most widely known standard for certification of ecologically-safe clothing. Fabrics, yarn, and fibres that have been coloured using Ashford dyes can come in contact with the skin without risk.
