NATURAL FABRICS AN DYES- INSECTS
The fabric is woven with 100% wool and dyed with natural dyes sourced from the earth. To create the vibrant colors for the bags, natural ingredients such as leaves, corn, flowers, sticks and seeds are hand-gathered to produce different hues for the dyes. Salt and lemon alter the shades of colors drastically. Even cochineal, a small beetle that lives on the local pear cactus, is crushed to create a red dye.
