Natural Dyes in Handloom: Colors from Nature

The Art of Natural Dyeing

Natural dyes have been used in handloom textiles for centuries. These dyes are derived from plants, minerals, and other natural sources, creating beautiful, eco-friendly colors.

Traditional Dye Sources

Indigo for blue, turmeric for yellow, and madder for red are some of the most commonly used natural dyes. Each region has its own unique dyeing traditions.

Environmental Benefits

Natural dyes are biodegradable and non-toxic, making them environmentally friendly. They also create unique, subtle color variations that cannot be replicated by synthetic dyes.
