Fiber Reactive Eco Dyes | Natural Dyes

A message from Ecolution | Pan World Traders about natural dyes: < Human nature and mother nature. The child always tries to reproduce his mother’s gestures and habitude. We have always tried to reproduce nature’s colors around us in everything from our caves to our clothes in our search for eternal beauty. To be in harmony with nature is a necessity of life, which goes beyond fashion. To be a part of this world of miracles….

At Pan World Traders, we dreamed of developing natural dyes since we first began our work with hemp. Our development of natural dyes became possible when a Transylvanian eco-botanist with a background in natural pigments joined our ship. Late last spring, a year of intensive research achieved the four colors that you can see here. We use only eco-friendly mordants to fix these dyes: blue stone, alum, salt, and vinegar. Once our natural dye gardens come into bloom in future seasons, we will have a wide variety of many more colors to offer you.
