Dactylopius coccus

These sweatpants were purchased from Everybody.World and are made of 100% recycled cotton. They have been dyed with cochineal, or Dactylopius coccus, an insect native to North and South Americas. Cochineal was originally used by Mexican Indigenous peoples to make pigment for paint and to dye textiles and feathers for wear. When the Spanish came to Mexico, they brought the desert-dwelling insects back to Europe, where they were used to dye the uniforms of English soldiers. (Source)

I am thankful to the native Mexicans for the opportunity to use this dye in my home, in Vermont.

After being dyed over my stovetop, I stitched a block printed Stryker logo onto the back right of the pants. Color and tones vary per pair, so your pants might be slightly mis-matched in tone to your hoodie, all a part of the fun of experimental natural dyeing.

Care: Natural dyes will face with excessive washing and exposure to sunlight. Please wash sparingly, inside-out, and store in a dark drawer or closet.
