Explore the range of earthy colour. Powdered dyestuffs from nature. These dyes are the raw material - Roots, leaves, bark, fruit and peel of various well used botanicals that have good lightfast and wash fast qualities. Powdered for ease of use and ready to be simmered in the dye pot. 

These plants (and a few insects too) have been used for centuries for their gift of colour and some also have antibacterial qualities.

As each plant has a unique colour, character and relationship with the elements, it is important to get to know them individually. They have varying reactions in combination with ph, heat, time and mordants and modifiers. A wonderful palette waiting to be explored!
