Sashoonya is a textile art and design company that creates sustainable textile products using local materials and dyes derived from our natural surroundings in New England.

Working with natural dyeing and eco-printing techniques, Sasha Azbel, the director of Sashoonya, crafts silk scarves, wall hangings, clothing, and home goods. She never employ toxic chemicals in our art. Aww dyes her textiles with home-grown plant extracts, and carefully foraged macro-algae, (seaweed). Sasha never uses pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic fertilizer on her plants, only compost.

Sashoonya color sources include indigo, marigold, goldenrod, sumac, avocado pits, and bladderwrack seaweed.

By growing her own dye gardens, recovering and sustaining the disappearing traditions and knowledge of natural colors, and actively operating and advocating within our local farm-to-fiber+fashion community Sashoonya generates gratifying, sustainable processes and products for ecosystems and people.

Her textile goods, infused with the colors and the essence of the landscapes we cherish, are talismans and symbols of a world that prospers through care and connectivity. Her belief is that our identities are interlinked with our natural world, and that textiles are an important mechanism for communicating and nurturing this connection.
