Cloudsong Lace - Shell

Hand-dyed with sappanwood and cochineal.

Sappanwood is derived from Caesilpina sappan (Sappanwood otherwise known as Indian Redwood or Brazilwood) and is an authentic dye from the medieval period.

Cochineal comes from a female scale insect, Dactylopius coccus, that lives on prickly pear cactus plants. The insects yield a natural carmine dye.
