Textured cashmere and silk shawls
These beautiful cashmere and silk shawls are imported from India and then hand dyed by Julie in Cambridge. Each one is unique. No 2 are the same.
How did Echo Forest come about?
Julie says, "after buying a pair of upcycled trousers with leaf prints at a local market I decided to try out the process myself. Two years on I have experimented with all sorts of plant materials and dyes such as onion skins, avocado skins, rose petals, turmeric powder and madder root. The printing process is done by steaming cloth which have been pressed with flowers and leaves. Leaves such as Eucalyptus and Oak work the best along with red rose petals and every type of red or purple flower.
