Natural Dyeing

Experiments in natural dyeing are being done in the area to color the needles bright. This is done using roots and stems of locally available plants like Hingloda, Hinsar, Jinjaroo and Thermole. These are boiled in water and then the pine needles are soaked in them for some time. So far dark brown and yellow have been achieved but since it is an on-going experiment, other colors like red, green and blue are expected soon.
