Myrobalan - This dyestuff consists of ground nuts of the Terminalia chebula tree. This tree grows in Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, Burma, Thailand, Indochina and South China. It may be classed as both a mordant and a dye, giving a light buttery yellow when applied. It is an important tannin-based mordant for cotton in India and South East Asia due to the light warm colour it imparts to the cloth. It is very useful for overdying. Myrobalan is also the perfect colour to lay down under a single indigo dip for teal. Myrobalan, when used as a tannin mordant requires 15-20% wof. If using to create a soft butter yellow colour 20-30% wof is required.
