SWEATER AND POLO
The use of Madder as a dye plant dates back to the ancient civilizations of the Indian peninsula. This age-old tradition revolves around the aromatic root of the plant, where the primary coloring agent, alizarin, is found. Throughout history, Madder has become one of the primary sources for dyeing fabrics with a vibrant and long-lasting red hue.
EQUISETUM GREEN
SWEATER
A perennial herbaceous plant in the Equisetaceae family, commonly known as horsetail due to its distinctive appearance. It is distributed worldwide and prefers moist soils along watercourses and at high altitudes. The natural dyeing process imparts a delicate shade of green to the yarn.
INDIGO BLUE
SWEATER AND POLO
The Indigofera plant is the source of one of the most important natural dyes: indigo. Its use dates back to the Egyptians and Asian cultures as early as 2000 B.C. Its leaves are also used for ornamentation, and through a fermentation process, the pigment can be extracted giving rise to a wide range of blues.
JUNIPER ECRU
SWEATER AND POLO
Common Juniper is a small perennial tree or shrub widespread in the northern hemisphere, with needle-like leaves emitting a resinous fragrance. Its berries, called "cuddles," boast numerous medicinal and dyeing properties, imparting delicate beige and ecru shades to the yarn.
