What is eco-printing exactly?
Eco-printing is a natural dyeing technique that involves creating prints and patterns with the use of real flowers. Certain flowers that contain phytochemical compounds are arranged on a piece of pre-treated fabric, rolled tightly around a dowel and then steamed to extract the natural pigments. The resulting pattern left on the fabric is completely unique and varies depending on the species of flower, the fibers and the specific conditions of the printing process.
Bear in mind that because natural dyes are made from organic materials, they can sometimes result in variations in color and texture. These variations can be part of the charm and spirit of naturally dyed clothing and it’s important to understand that natural dyes may not produce uniform results and may not always be able to achieve a perfectly even dye. Many people appreciate the delicate imperfections that can result from botanical dyes as they give clothing a handcrafted and artisanal feel.
