Hello everybody. This is Peter Beckenham from Thai Silk Magic.
In this very quick video as part of our Amazing Natural Dyes series
you can see my wife Dao there and our 2 teenage girls, Am and Wan.
And today they are very excited because we have found a particular
species of wild flower that we haven't seen for 3 or 4 years.
The wild flower is called "klingtar" and it produces wonderful natural
dye colours including greens, pinks and greys.
They're normally discovered around the klongs which are small dams
in the rice fields around our village.
But we haven't seen them for 2 or 3 years so this is quite an exciting
day for everybody.
The leaves and the flowers are combined together in the natural dyes
process and we have discovered them to be wonderfully colour fast colours
for our Thai silks.
So if you would like to know more about our natural dye processes,
maybe our Thai silks or our handmade silk scarves or even our Thai
village lifestyles subscribe with us.
We'd love to share with you and we appreciate your support.
Thank you very much for watching.
