Here they'are! Cotton bags with eco prints from JaneBo FELT.

I'm fall in love with natural dyeing and especially with eco print technic.

All prints are from leaves themselves without additional pigments. And a little bit rust dyeing.

Eco friendly fashion - natural dyed women scarves

These two different scarves are hand felted and plant dyed. One plant - two different colors on wool and silk.

How to dye - take onion skin (approx. equal weight as weight of your wool or silk). Boil it during 1-2 hours, filter, add your material and steam during 1-1.5 hours. Rinse and dry.

This scarf is felted of extra-fine merino wool on light cotton fabric as a base (nuno-felting technic). Then dyed with onion skin with added vinegar. The color is rusty-brown. Cotton almost did not take dye and this gives interesting stripe effect.





In same dye bath I dyed silk for other scarf. The color is light beige. I felted this scarf of dyed silk and white prefelt.
