Natural dyes

Natural dyes are colors derived from plants, minerals, and other organic materials, used to color fabrics, textiles, and other materials. Unlike synthetic dyes, which are man-made chemicals, natural dyes are extracted from sources like leaves, roots, flowers, and bark. They have been used for centuries across cultures for their vibrant hues and eco-friendly qualities. Natural dyes are biodegradable and less toxic, making them a sustainable choice. The process involves harvesting the dye source, preparing it, and treating the fabric to absorb the color. They offer a rich, earthy palette and a connection to traditional craftsmanship.
