Natural (Undied) Multicolored Cotton of the Andes

Today we often think that cotton comes naturally only in white or of-white(tan/beige) shades.

However, in the pre-Colombian Andes, and even to this day, cotton grown in the Andean region of South America can come in a multitude of undied natural colors.

Several articles and webpages about the natural multicolored cotton of the Andes can be found at:
