Ash Brown
Premium Desi Oon & Indigenous Natural Dye Wool Yarns
Anchor your next heirloom garment in the sophisticated, grounded tones of the mountains. If you are searching to buy authentic, indigenous wool yarns that carry the true essence of the earth, this complex botanical extraction is crafted specifically for you. Ethically sourced from the sweeping, high-altitude pastures of the Himalayan region, this 4-ply desi oon is spun for designers who demand uncompromising quality and rich, natural color. To achieve this beautifully muted, greyish-brown taupe, we utilize a gentle 15% extraction of a 100% plant based dye and carefully sadden it with an 8% natural iron (ferrous) mineral modifier.
WHY BUY THESE WOOL YARNS? Authentic natural dye wool yarns cannot be rushed or mass-produced in a commercial factory. Our Ash Brown colorway is strictly limited by seasonal botanical foraging, complex mineral balancing, and the natural yield of indigenous sheep. When you purchase this yarn, you are securing a highly rare, artisan-crafted fiber that directly supports local shepherd communities. Secure your sweater quantity today before this limited botanical batch is permanently allocated.
