These naturally dyed placemats are woven in our traditional “Rachel” pattern with a cotton warp and a wool weft.
After weaving, these placemats are dyed with walnut, marigold, goldenrod, madder, osage orange, and chamomile. By cultivating our own natural dyes students engage with head, heart, and hand as they care for the earth, study the biology and chemistry necessary to complete the dyeing process and carefully weave, inspect, and finish each placemat. This run will be limited to 10 sets of 6 placemats, with each placemat in the set dyed with a different plant from campus.
