Period

March–November

While plant dyes used to play a decisive role in the dyeing of fabrics, knowledge of dye plants has largely been lost today. We rediscover historical dye plants and even dye silk scarves in an environmentally friendly way using plant material. Patterns can be incorporated for embellishment. During the Easter period, we dye eggs with plant-based colours and individual leaf patterns.
