Plant dyes
Plant dyes, used since ancient times, offer a rich palette of colors ranging from bright yellow to deep blue, through intense red, soft green, warm brown and even subtle black. From the famous wild madder, known for its unique red, to onion peelings, easily found in the kitchen, each shade finds its origin in a specific plant. An ancestral knowledge to cultivate in your garden! Dyers' Chamomile (Cota tinctoria)Dyers' Chamomile (Cota tinctoria)© Marie Aymerez / Biosphoto - RM2524421 |
