Indigo & madder
Four shawl patterns designed by me in collaboration with Renaissance Dyeing, a small family business specializing in naturally dyed yarn based in the foothills of the Pyrénées.
Renaissance Dyeing is now Lã nollin, who continue the natural dyeing tradition in Isère in the French Alps.
The natural dyestuffs used include indigo, madder, cochineal, chestnut and woad.
Yarn kits for Renaissance Stripes and Fresco Crescent are available from Lã nollin.
