Madder + Lac + Logwood

Hand dyed with madder + lac + logwood.

Madder root is one of the oldest natural dyes and has been used for many centuries in Turkey, Iran and India in intricate carpet designs. It is produced using processes that respect the environment and comply with organic textile certifications.

Lac is a natural dye that is extracted from scale insects (Kerria lacca) found in Asia.

Logwood is a tree originally found in the forests of Central America. The dye comes from the heartwood. The logwood extract used is produced using processes that comply with organic textile certifications. 

The colour is not as vibrant as is showing on my screen.

This yarn can be worn next to the skin and is perfect for knitting, crochet or weaving projects.
