It is handwoven of rough Carpathian sheep wool yarn hand-dyed with plants: red onion peel, golden rod, broad-leaved dock, red beets, and even a tiny bit of henna, which I still had from a gift. It can be worn with or without a belt. It is a lightweight and warm tunic, sustainable, elegant, and unique.
Suitable for sizes: S/M.
This price includes the following work process of creating the garment:

– drying the coloured yarn
