Creating colour from plants is a unique process called Plant Dyeing. You select the right herbs, plants or vegetables that have an excellent degree of colour fastness and then extract the pigment to create a natural dye. This process originated back in early China. As time moves on, the basic principles of this ancient practice along with modern technology, assists to achieve a superior result and a completely chemical-free process
