Today I did a little experiment with some fish vertebrae I found. I simmered them in Annatto extract for about an hour. Expecting a nice orange, but I’m very happily surprised with the result.
Natural dyes can work with a variety of substrates. Not just fabric fibres. They have an affinity with animal products.
Feathers, bones, fur etc.

I have some more assorted bones in my collection of crafty things…

Just landed - the beautiful 💚 Mulberry leaf extract.
For sumptuous greens, Mulberry Leaf Extract is created from the natural chlorophyll in the leaves of the white mulberry (Morus alba) tree. The leaves are simmered with a copper mordant, transforming the fragile chlorophyll into chlorophyllin—a far more sunlight- and heat-resistant form of green pigment. This process yields a uniquely lightfast natural green, something rarely achieved in plant dyeing.

Soon to be added to the natural dye extracts kit for a wider spectrum of colour play.

Available on my website and Etsy store now ✨

We had such a beautiful day creating magic with natural colours and leaves ✨

Stay tuned for workshop dates coming up in the new year if you’d like to learn about natural dyes.

Thanks to @mayashaul for capturing some magic moments from the weekend.

Sappanwood ✨

This beautiful heartwood dye yields a stunning range of hues — from soft blush pinks to rich crimsons and deep purples — depending on mordant, pH, and fibre type. Used for centuries across Asia, sappanwood is prized for both its vibrant colour and its gentle, plant-based origins.

Our sappanwood natural dye powder is finely ground and ready to use. Shift the bath toward acidic tones for rosy reds, or add an alkaline modifier to explore purples and mauves.

Have you experimented with sappanwood yet?

Tannins play a big part in creating colour on cloth.
A vital element when using cellulose fibres. Tannins bond to the fibre delivering a pathway for mordants and colour to form a good bond creating wash fast and light fast results.

Plants high in tannins will generally create good colour as a dye in themselves and they also lend a hand to other dyestuffs to create stronger and deeper colours.

Exploring the reactions with iron can also be a great way to create deeper darker shades through to dark charcoal.

What tannins do you like to use?

One of my go to staples in the dye studio. I just love the beautiful golds and greens and using pomegranate as a base for layering other colours for deep rich shades.

Raw powder and extract in store

https://www.alkeminaturaldyes.com.au/product-page/pomegranate-peel-powder

Doing a comparison here of Pomegranate peel powder and extract to see how they perform side by side.

Pomegranate peel powder @ 20% WOF
Pomegranate peel extract @ 8% WOF

Both also getting a post dye iron dip to see how they tannins react for the beautiful greens pomegranate offers. And it did not disappoint! Some gorgeous greens came through, especially in the silk.

Fabric samples in order of video
Wool, wool silk blend, raw silk, habotai silk, linen and cotton.

Unfortunately I didn’t choose the best cotton fabric for these samples so I will also do this again with some various cellulose fibres to see how deep the colour can go.

There was not much difference in results with a little stronger colour in some of the raw dye samples and some variation in hue. All in all I am very happy with the quality and depth of both and can see the benefit in time and cost when using the extract.
I really do love using pomegranate as a base and as a dye blanket in eco printing with iron. Such lovely greens!

I have both the raw and extract in stock if you’d like to try this beautiful dye. Made from captured food waste, it is both sustainable and 100% non toxic.
Pomegranate skin powder is also used as a skin care product so it’s a great colour to wear close to your skin!

The warm colours of Cutch

Acacia catechu, full of beautiful tannins producing a gorgeous pallette of earthy browns.

This is the extract on wool, silk, cotton and linen...

The extract just melts so beautifully into the water and comes alive with its earthy almost sweet tea like smell.

Acacia catechu is also used in ayurvedic medicine for swelling and pain and thought to have antiviral and antibacterial properties.

Even better to wear this beautiful plant close to your skin!

The extract is available in store and is also part of the natural dye extracts kit if you'd like to try out a few different extracts and mix your own colours.

Just a little vibe in my camera reel! Those colours!
Little bowls of earth based colour ready to be made into wonderful things!

Next year I’m planning some wonderful workshops for those of you who are wanting to dip your fingers and learn a thing or two!

Join my mailing list to stay up to date with my offerings and ignite some inspiration to start or add to a practice of your own ✨

Walnut Hull Powder, made from the dried outer shells (hulls) of the Juglans regia tree, is a powerful natural dye prized for its deep brown, warm taupe, and greyish neutral tones. Naturally high in tannins, it can be used without a mordant and also serves as a subtle tannin source for preparing cellulose fibres like cotton and linen.

An earthy rich high tannin dye, a must have in the dye studio!
Perfect for creating deep dark browns/charcoals when used with Iron.

Cooper Sulphate
The bringer of beautiful greens! Used as a mordant or modifier, Copper sulphate can brighten and deepen greens. Especially when used with eco printing. Only a little is needed to create unique results.

Have you used copper in your practice? I’d love to know what your favourite combos are.

Copper sulphate now available in store.

Madder - Rubia cordifolia - Indian Madder

From peachy pinks, to coral and orange tones to deep Red, Madder is a beautiful plant to work with. I particularly love the smell of this cordifolia extract.
When the dye pot starts steaming it almost brings a medicinal scent to the air.

I have a fair bit of this in stock at the moment and am offering it at a bargain price with 20% off this quality potent extract ♥️

Do you need some delicious ruby reds in your works?

A great kit for those starting out ✨🌸✨

This weekend we had some play time in the studio with natural dye extracts and habotai silk.

Using Marigold, Lac and Annatto for a gorgeous warm spectrum. They blended so beautifully.

Experimenting with some Shibori folding and dip dyeing and an hour steam.
Really happy with the potency of these extracts. The results were so bright and pretty as well as some gorgeous pastels.

They also smelled delicious! Marigold in particular also has anti microbial properties so an extra element of earthy goodness imbued in these colour ways.

Thanks @ebonyjoyrose for joining me in a fun colour play.

I will be running some workshops in the northern rivers in the next couple of months for tie dye and Shibori with natural dyes ✨

Pomegranate peel

A favourite dyestuff of mine. High in tannins, it can is great to use with cellulose fibres. Used as a pre tannin to boost other dyestuffs and and add to depth and longevity, or in its own to create soft yellow/gold tones and a lovely olivey greens when used with a touch of iron.

Dried pomegranate peel raw powder and extract are available in store now.

The secret to vibrant, long-lasting natural colour?

It all starts with SCOURING 🫧

Scouring removes oils, waxes, sizing and impurities from fabric, allowing natural dyes and mordants to bind more effectively.
Skipping this step can lead to dull, uneven or patchy results – in mordanting and the dye pot.

Think of it as prepping a canvas before painting

Clean fibre = strong, rich and lasting colour.

Scouring is basically a hot wash, using the appropriate detergent for the fibre and heating it for about an hour.
You will see a lot come off some fabrics and they may need a double scour to get it nice and clean.

Screen shot the instructions for the process ✨

Myrobalan Grey Tannin extract

Henna

Lawsonia inermis

Native to the tropical regions of Africa, Asia and surprisingly Australia! (If anyone finds it growing wild in Australia I’d be very interested to try some!)

Henna has been used traditionally throughout Africa and Asia for centuries to colour hair, skin in beautiful mehndi designs and on cloth.
Also used as medicine and ceremonial ways this plant holds a rich history and continues to bring its magic to the world today.

I am currently stocking henna powder and also raw indigo powder if you want to mix your own hair colouring or use alone for fabrics.

Henna will give a lovely earthy brown to green tones on cloth and is great to use alongside other dyes to create richer deeper tones.
