About our Dyes + KORAOur unexpected evangelist. “Just” the true natural, soft, creamy colour of cotton lint - so easily lost by weaving and treatment - and one we work hard to preserve at Malkha.ALIZARIN REDThe only non-vegetable dye used by Malkha, Alizarin Red is a non-toxic by-product of coal tar. It creates a truly lovely and smooth scarlet when dyed on well-prepared, properly mordanted yarn.CROSS COLOURSomething particularly intriguing happens when the warp and weft of the weave are different colours. Colloquially called "dhoop chaon" [sunshine shade] because the fabric that results from this cross colour warp and weft looks differently hued in different light.
