PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT: Naturally Dyed Textiles from Pakistan

This month, I am thrilled to share some of the newest items from my partner in Pakistan. This new range of textiles was inspired by the natural colors of the landscape in Sindh where the fabrics are created. The soft, earthy tones of light gold and terracotta are timeless, soothing additions to any living space. Geometric patterning provides just enough visual interest while giving the perfect amount of negative space for the eye to rest.

The yellow dye is extracted from Keesu Phool, a yellow blossom that grows locally in Sindh. The blossoms are gently cooked in hot water, then strained to create the concentrated yellow color. Natural dyeing is both a science and an art as the dyer must understand how to work with both plants and mordants to achieve subtle yet nuanced shades.

Working in layers, the fabric is mordanted and then printed with a natural resist paste using hand-carved wooden blocks. It is then immersed in a heated vat of the natural dye, where the mordant creates a bond between the fiber and the colorant. It’s during this stage that the fabric takes up the dye. The resist-printed areas take much less dye, resulting in the patterning on the fabric.

These fabrics are created in collaboration with families living along the banks of the Indus River, dyeing sustainably using color from the natural world as they have done for thousands of years.

I hope you love this line as much as I do. The pillows are gorgeous and the table runners also look stunning when hung on the wall, with or without a frame!
