Did you hear the scientists have found a way to grow colored cotton? Thoughts?
Itโs not a โscientists have foundโ and much more โpeople have been already doing that for thousands of years and itโs just gaining more attention recentlyโ
Scientists didnโt know. It should be โScientists just found outโ
Thereโs actually been a load of vitriol leveled against folks who try to raise traditional colored cottons, because a lot of cotton growers donโt want the colored cottons cross-pollinating with their standard white cotton.
But anyway cotton can be grown in lovely natural shades of greens, reddish-brown ochres, and browns, all of which deepen with a good boil in water with a bit of washing soda thrown in.
The color obviously doesnโt fade or run, because itโs not dye. Itโs the intrinsic color of the fiber itself.
I....I want clothes made out of those colors. They don't hurt my brain!
Arenโt they lovely?
Iโm biased because I love the natural earth tones of many fibers, of course...browns, blacks, creams, copper-reds, ect...but I think theyโre just gorgeous.
