HANDMADE
NATURAL DYES
Coloring of elephant grasses used in making Zaarefolks baskets is done using completely natural dyes. Our artisans obtain natural colors by boiling the ground herbs in boiling water. It is important to boil it as it releases its sap into the water.
Vegetable wastes remaining as a result of natural dyeing do not pollute the nature and can be easily dissolved in nature. Due to the need for these plants, the increase in agricultural activities is important for the economy. Today, cancer types are extremely spreading and natural dyes are indispensable for all of us because they do not contain carcinogenic substances.
When you click on our products, you will see that there is a natural dye icon.
