Dear Colorists and friends,
We are proud to be a participant in the new movement to build a greener economy. Many of our dyes have received organic and/or
Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification, and we are excited to be creating beautiful hues from certified, sustainable plants
and natural materials. Our colors can be used for home, cottage industry and industrial processes. Natural dyes can be used for
textiles, paper, buttons, other natural fibers and to make natural inks and paints for textile printing .
In the past year, I was fortunate to work on an organic cotton project in Senegal as well as visit my old friends in Southeast Asia,
teaching and consulting with artisans and indigenous groups on sustainable methods using natural colors. We are also hard at work,
developing new hues and working with artisan producers to create beautiful color palettes for their products.
At the same time, we are confronted with sobering economic news, and everyone is aware of the challenges we face in these difficult
times. In view of this, we are working to hold our prices in line, and even lower them on certain colors. We hope we can serve as
encouragement and as a resource to those who are building their lives and livelihoods in step with the green economy.
Join us in the color journey - the path is beautiful, sustainable and very rewarding.
Hues to you,
Michele Wipplinger
Founder, Earthues
