MERINO X BOTANICAL DYES
6th September 2021
Being a brand that is deeply rooted in sustainable practices we have decided to explore the possibilities of colour using botanical dyes. We will be using a soft and durable merino wool blend for this process. Both the merino wool yarn & flora used is sourced from South Africa, keeping all raw materials local & seasonal.
Why are we doing this & what are the benefits?
- Biodegradable leaving no harmful waste on our planet. This preserves the environment long term.
- Nontoxic meaning that this form of dyeing is not harmful to human beings, animals and plants.
- Vibrant & Pastel colours, botanical dyes offer a wide variety of beautiful colours in darker to light shades.
- Nonallergic, no chemicals means that no skin allergies or irritations will occur. Especially on children or people with sensitive skin.
Using botanical dyes with knitwear is a new & exciting journey for us and we look forward to sharing the process with you.
