Kooigoed

Kooigoed is also a new neutral - a medium pale silvery sage colour. It has a greyish base, and a slightly 'oxidised' appearance  - so it leans more to the 'cool' side of the greens - and will pair well with the delicate pastels currently listed.

Kooigoed is a lovely, indigenous fragrant plant - it's known as the silver bush everlasting, impepho or liquorice plant, and has numerous practical uses. Traditionally, it was used for bedding and mattresses (conveniently insect repellent too) - hence the Afrikaans name which translates as 'bedding stuff'. It is also burned as incense - to clear energy, create calm or commune with the ancestors. 

Care Instructions: For long term fibre and colour care a gentle, PH neutral detergent (preferably natural/organic) and cold water rinse is recommended. Refrain from excessive wringing. Dry flat, avoiding prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight.
