Re: natural fibre samples
Jennifer,
I recently obtained samples of naturally
coloured cotton from Sally Fox's company Vreseis Limited (www.vreseis.com).
The cotton that they sell is organically grown and is the result
of a breeding program using stock originally used by the Cajun community
in Lousiana. This naturally coloured cotton is not directly related to
those used in ancient Peru (i.e. Gossypium barbadense). You might
try contacting Peru Naturtex Partners (www.perunaturtex.com). Their website
provides a lot of information about naturally coloured Peruvian cottons.
