Ladka Peneš, Mama Ladka
Ladka Peneš, aka Mama Ladka, is a master craftswoman of nuances.
Using plants she dyes wool yarns, combed wool and silk scarves. She uses wool
from the Jezersko-Solčava breed of sheep, which is one of the indigenous breeds
in Slovenia. A wide variety of Slovenian grown plants are
used for colouring – St. John's Wort, mullein, onion skins, rhubarb, green
walnuts, willow, alder, birch and others. The hand-dyed materials are used to
create items including knitted scarves, hats, gloves, socks, pendants, various
felt products, and naturally printed silk scarves.
