| The Benefits of Natural Dyes |
| |
| Natural dyeing
is a labour intensive traditional art that uses locally available resources
and expertise. Friendly to the
environment as well as rich in variety, natural dyeing of silk appeals
to people concerned with not just environment, but also aesthetics and
fashion. |
 |
| |
| Natural dyeing experts find beautiful
colour springs from unlikely places. By using traditional recipes with
new variations, artisans transform roots, leaves, bark, berries and seeds
into
natural dyes. Example of these ingredients is annatto seed, hem bark, lac
resin, indigo leaves and coffee beans. Because of the organic nature of
these ingredients, each piece is unique. |
| Colour
options range from autumn red to cranberry to fade pink, blue spruce
to pistachio, harvest gold to chalk yellow, hot chocolate to malt…. |
