Considering what materials I use is fundamental in my work. I use natural materials that don't negatively affect the planet
I use wool because it is:
100% Natural
100 % Biodegradable
100% Renewable

Wool laid out ready to be wet felted
In university I experimented a lot with naturally dying wools and using them in my felting. Since launching ida design I have found it better to out source my naturally dyed wool. After lots of research I found other small business that I can support by sourcing my naturally dyed wool from them.
Wools I naturally dyed using avocado skins (pink) Red cabbage and iron water (blue)
Naturally dyed wools sourced from small bussinesses
I try to source as many of my sewing materials from my local independent fabric shop.
