Oogst Natural Dyes
Oogst dyes are derived from nature hence their name "Oogst" which is the Dutch word for "Harvest". Many of them are plant based with only a few being made from animal or mineral material.

Natural dyes are the oldest method of dyeing and were used thousands of years before the modern industrial chemical dyeing processes were invented. These dyes have a rich tradition and a broad range of application.

What makes natural dyes special is that the dyes combine with the materials in ever-changing ways so that your result is always suprising. This is good if you are an artist but bad if you want to dye hundreds of sofa's in the same colour. Thus natural dyes are now an artform rather than part of the industrial process.
