Natural Dye Kit $39.95 cdn |
A good selection of natural dyes and two mordants to get you started: 100g tanic acid, 100g alum, 100g madder, 100g osage, 100g cutch, 30g cochineal, 100g logwood. Instructions. |
 It is said by many natural dyers that all things dyed naturally go together. Nothing clashes and there are no richer, more jewel-like colors than those fibers colored using natural dyes. Researcher and natural dyer Jim Liles says “Natural dyes possess additional beauty because they come from living things... I sometimes feel that some of that life is still there.” Many colors can be coaxed from plants in your own backyard. Common weeds, fruit tree prunings, green vegetation, hedge clippings are but a few of the many natural dye sources. The dyes that we sell are termed the “exotic” or “historic” natural dyes. They yield good to excellent wash and light fastness often not available in some of the more common dye plants. Note: a full palette of colors can be achieved by varying the mordants used and by blending two dyes together (such as Cutch and Cochineal, or Cochineal and Madder, or Madder and Logwood). Overdying with Indigo can make greens from Osage or burgundies from Madder and so on.
