Dear Colorists and friends,

Welcome to Earthues.  We are a pioneer in natural dyes and are proud to participate in the new movement to build a greener economy
through sustainable methods.  All of our colorants are derived from plants or other natural materials and many of our dyes have received
organic and/or Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification. Our colors are appropriate for home, artisan and industrial
processes and our natural dyes can be used for textiles, paper, buttons, and other natural fibers and to make natural inks and paints for
textile printing.

This winter, we offer a full line of classes on dyeing, surface design, and other textile techniques as well as special Fiber Fun Days and a
Fiber Camp for children.  Browse our
Winter-Spring schedule and discover a new class to feed your creative spirit.

Join us in the color journey - the path is beautiful, sustainable and very rewarding.

Hues to you,

Michele Wipplinger
