HAND-DYE
After scouring the hills of Attica sourcing coloured flowers and searching for roots, the dyeing is done by hand in our Athenian studio. Once gathered, the piles of herbs first need crushing and fermenting to draw out their tones. Everything is weighted. Depending on the thread's consistency, fabrics are dyed in multiple stages to ensure best results. Bark dust billows in the air, slow boiling turns the mixture to molten bronze, and dark water-swirls over the wool. The fabrics then dry in the sunlight, lying out under the open skies.
