nondyed
Left its original
Nondyed describes material, especially fabric or fiber, that has not been treated with dye—retaining its natural color rather than having color artificially added: nondyed cotton, nondyed wool.
The term appears most often in textile descriptions and product labeling, sometimes appealing to consumers who prefer unprocessed or hypoallergenic materials.
