Looking for a quick primer on natural plant-based dyes? We went to Peru to get you the basic 101

In an attempt to promote natural dyes and re-instil a value for native flora, Awamaki and other organizations in the region have initiated projects aimed at local artisans. Greenhouses are being built so plants necessary for the dyes will be available year-round despite altitude and temperature differences. Daniel hosts regular natural dye workshops for Awamaki’s weaving cooperative to help them standardize their colors and be able to offer consistent products- something absolutely essential to appeal to international markets that have the potential to provide additional income for the women. He has also been working on a book to document native plants and the dye process that will undoubtedly be of great value to natural dye enthusiasts and future generations alike.
