OUR STORY
currently make my Dreadlocks from wool purchased six blocks from where I live.
I buy my wool from:
-
Sasquatch Cowichan 1233 Government St, Victoria, BC V8W 1Y6
I personally dye each batch myself using iDye Natural which I get at:
-
Opus Art 512 Herald St, Victoria, BC V8W 1S6
Another option is to go to a local sore with me and pick out and pay for your own colours for yourself.
-
Knotty By Nature 1704 Lillian Rd, Victoria, BC V8S 1K9
Each batch of 30 - 50 double ended dreadlocks takes me 12-36 hours to create.
I have a lot of fun creating these locks and I look forward to seeing more people enjoying them!
Products offered
Ombre Dreadlocks
($7.00 - 10.00 per lock )
These Dreadlocks are so much fun to look at and wear, I needle felt the colours together where they transition from one colour to another , and then hand felt them in hot soapy water before rinsing them and hanging them to dry outside.
The process from dyeing the wool through to setting the dreadlocks out to dry can take anywhere from 18 - 36 hours. Price depending on how many colours your ombre has.
Metallic Painted Dreads
($7.50 per Lock)
These Dreadlocks are so much fun to make because I get to play with fabric paint,
I take my base colour of brown and I Ombre in to a wool dyed one of these beautiful colours:
-
Gray - Silver
-
Yellow - Gold
-
Orange - Bronze
-
Red - Copper
And I cover them with the metallic paint that goes with that colour/shade, I let it dry, gently rinse and then put the dreads in to a pillowcase in the dryer.
Solid Colour Dreads
($5.50 per Lock)
These are simply dyed and hand dreaded,
And I love them because they are simple and look great with beads and gems hanging from them. these dreads I also offer with black/brown/blonde at the center and any other colour to the ends at no extra cost.
