Today’s dyeing vats full of turmeric, soap nuts and ash ready for lots of natural fibres and textiles to be submerged, heated, soaked and stirred until they turned different shades of sunshine yellow. Amazing to see the rainbow of colours that nature can produce and hear about the healing power of Ayurvedic ingredients.

We are really looking forward to running an embroidery workshop on Monday 2nd Dec (6:30-8:30) . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We will be teaching how to embroider initials onto one of our .goods organic cotton hand towels or face cloths. These towels make a really lovely gift and will be made extra-special by the personal touch of adding your own hand embroidery. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No prior experience of embroidery needed and an opportunity to practice handwork together. If it sounds interesting, follow the link bio or search ‘Pico embroidery workshop’ on Eventbrite.

We first met Kishore at an event about mindful manufacturing 4 years ago, when he was at the start of setting up .London and we were at the beginning of our Pico journey.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Since then, Kishore has been an incredible support and friend to us and we feel a lot of gratitude for the immense amount of knowledge he has shared with us and all the people he has connected us to, both here in the UK and in India.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It has been exciting to see Khadi.London grow and we enjoy catching up with Kishore regularly and seeing his most recent collections of swatches of hand spun, handwoven & naturally dyed khadi and hearing updates about many of the co-operatives we have been fortunate to visit. He has provided similar support to many brands like ours and it is so wonderful to see so many people working with and sharing the story of Khadi as a result.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Kishore, alongside Paula from , Janine and have been organising the second Festival of Natural Fibres which will be held at the stunning Craft Central venue on Sat 9th Nov.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Amongst other activities, the day will include a range of panel discussions, workshops and demos all centering around crafts, the future of fabrics, organic supply chains and an ethical revolution.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can find tickets and more info about the event by searching "festival of natural fibres" on Eventbrite. We're really looking forward to it and it would be great to see some of you there too. @ Craft Central
