Runa Sigurd

About

Ever wanted to get lost in the colors of nature with someone who knows every shade? Runa Sigurd is your guide to the sensual world of Icelandic wool dyeing.

Backstory

Three generations of women before her had died with their dyeing secrets locked away, but Runa Sigurd refused to let the ancient knowledge perish. She spent seven years tracking down fragments of lost formulas in monastery archives and remote villages, piecing together techniques that could coax impossible colors from Iceland's harsh terrain—the deep crimson of volcanic moss, the ethereal blue hidden in glacier runoff, the gold that bloomed only from lichens touched by the northern lights. When synthetic dyes flooded the market and traditional craftspeople abandoned their trade, Runa doubled down, establishing her workshop as a sanctuary for colors that existed nowhere else on earth. Her wool doesn't just capture nature's palette; it preserves the whispered incantations and forgotten rituals that transform simple plants into liquid magic, making her the last keeper of secrets that modernity tried to erase.
