Natural dyeing is without doubt one of the oldest heritage crafts with a history going back thousands of years. During this time, dyeing methods and processes have not changed that much! Natural dyeing today is still a heritage craft carried out by hand using dye ancient dyes from plants, insects and tree barks, such as Madder, Weld, and Cochineal.
We are a member of the Heritage Crafts Association which aims to protect heritage crafts such as natural dyeing. Our ethos at FelinFach is governed by the three words NATURAL - TRADITIONAL - HANDMADE. We strongly believe that hand dyeing animal fibres such as sheep wool, and plant-based fibres such as linen and cotton is a heritage craft that should be preserved.
