Handloom Selvedge Denim – 6.5 Oz – Mellow Gold – Pomegranate Rind (Fabric Dyed)

Generally, since denim conventionally is a warp-dyed fabric, we dye the warp yarns in desired colors and use weft in udyed state for making handloom / khadi selvedge denim fabric. As a result of this, the face of the fabric appears to be colored, and the back appears to be white or less colored than the front.

In the case of “fabric dyed” items, the fabric is woven using un-dyed yarn in both warp and weft, to make an off-white / creamish colored cloth. This fabric is then prepared for dyeing.

The dyeing of this fabric is done using colors extracted from various organic waste materials, like marigold petals, eucalyptus leaves, pomegranate rind, onion skins, madder roots, and also the dye extracted from indigo plant.

The dyeing is carried out manually, without using any machinery, and is therefore done in small lots only. In the resulting fabric, the front and back are not very different in color.

Organic Dyeing with Pomegranate Rind Dye

Found in abundance, all around, the pomegranate rind is an excellent source of strikingly pleasant colors – rich vibrant yellows, browns and grays. The pomegranate rind dye is one of the best examples of re-cycling the waste to create value.

The pigment, which is very easy to extract, gives an unbelievable range of shades.

The dyeing is completely chemical-free, and organic in nature to the core.

This is another example of our commitment to recycle organic waste to create high flow eco-friendly products. We collect the rind from juice bars, and recycle it to extract the pigment after drying the pieces in sun.
