These handspun and naturally dyed threads are rich and deep, coloured with traditional natural dye plants. The recipes have been developed by Maiwa in collaboration with master weavers in Bengal, India. We think these spools are very special and sing with possibilities. We are excited to bring these threads to our community on this side of the world to explore and play within your own work. 

Natural Dye: Madder Root - mordanted with tannin and alum.
