Natural dyeing made easy – dye cotton, hemp, silk & wool with the WEJA Plant Dye Kit
Anyone who wants to dye textiles naturally is often faced with the challenge of finding an easy-to-use, sustainable and environmentally friendly product. With the WEJA Plant Dye Kit, dyeing cotton, hemp, silk and wool is now very easy – both, in the cooking pot and in the washing machine!
Tradition & innovation – since 1974
LIVOS has been researching environmentally friendly dyeing methods since it was founded in 1974 and has continuously developed its products. The WEJA Plant Dye Kit is the result of decades of experience in plant chemistry combined with modern knowledge of textile dyeing.
Why plant-based dyes?
In contrast to conventional, synthetic dyes, which often contain environmentally harmful chemicals and can release microplastics, the WEJA Plant Dye Kit is based on plant extracts. The color palette ranges from mango yellow to elderberry blue to classic indigo blue, creating beautiful, natural shades.
Plant dyes have many advantages:
- skin-friendly
- good lightfastness and rubbing fastness for long-lasting colors
- environmentally friendly – plant residues are compostable
- sustainable - dyes such as Reseda are purely plant-based, only the Lac red shade contains animal ingredients
Easy to use – even in the washing machine!
Many people think that dyeing with vegetable dyes is complicated, but with the WEJA Plant Dye Kit, it's child's play! It can be used both, in the cooking pot and in the washing machine. This makes it perfect for anyone who wants to avoid chemical textile dyes but is still looking for a simple and effective solution.
Natural dyeing compared to synthetic dyes
Conventional textile dyes often contain chemicals that are difficult to break down and can pollute the water. In addition, synthetic dyes are often petroleum-based and sometimes contain harmful heavy metals.
One example of this is indigo. Today, indigo is usually produced synthetically from aniline – a petrochemical compound that can contain problematic by-products. The WEJA Plant Dye Kit, on the other hand, uses natural indigo, which is biodegradable and leaves no toxic residues.
Conclusion: Sustainable dyeing for everyone!
Whether you want to dye cotton, dye hemp, dye silk or dye wool – the WEJA Plant Dye Kit offers you a simple, sustainable and color-intensive solution. Try it out and discover the world of vegetable dyes!
