Who would have thought trying to create a large-scale natural dyeing capability from scratch - is really REALLY hard.
Today marked the close of what was an EPIC 6 days that made up our natural dyeing workshop. The goal of the workshop was three fold:
1. Train the women we work with in the new natural dyeing process.
2. Test the color fastening of our newly developed technique that uses boiled banana tree as a binding agent.
3. Put our newly constructed hand operated dyeing machine - know from here on forward as "
Todo es posible" - to the test.
Check out our highlight reel below and learn a thing or two about the incredible process of natural dyeing.
And stay tuned for our next update when we will be able to reveal the dyeing results!
