Hex is hand dyed in batches of 10 skeins at a time in a small family-run hand dyeing company in Peru. The company employs around 35 people. They don't use vat dyeing or commercial dyeing, it is an acid dye process. They use a colour lab where they weigh pigments and perform colour tests,  so each batch is almost identical to the others.

The solid tones of Hex have a shadowy colour style, especially the darker tones, with subtle colour variation throughout the skein. This hand-dyed semi-solid dyeing technique adds depth and dimension to textured stitches with nuanced highlights and shadows in each colourway.

The dye company not only does batch dyeing by hand, like they do for us, but they also do hand painting and natural dyeing using plant materials and natural mordants. The dyers comply with Fair Trade regulations and they are also working towards becoming GOTS compliant, working towards a carbon footprint certification as they use mainly solar power.
