Dyer’s chamomile is a member of the daisy family and has been used for centuries as a dependable source of strong, luminous yellow in natural textile dyeing. Known in Greek landscapes as a wild summer flower, it grows abundantly across Greece, Europe and parts of North America, thriving in dry soils and open fields.
Historically, dyer’s chamomile was used in traditional Greek kilim carpets and other woven textiles to produce warm, sunlit yellows. Depending on mordant and modifiers, it can also shift into soft olive greens. Its clarity of colour makes it ideal for immersion dyeing and bundle dyeing.
Offered as dried flowers, this dye material is valued for its reliability, brightness and connection to Greek dye traditions.

Our favourite technique, a contemporary process where we use fresh and dried flowers to create prints on fabric. Each one is unique, and even if we wanted to we can't create the same pattern twice!
