Tara Powder

Tara is the Quecha word for the shrubby tree Caesalpinia tinctoria, native to South America. Tara seeds are used as a food grade thickener and the pods have traditional medicinal uses. The pods are also the source of the dye. Tara powder is widely used as a light-colored tannin in the leather industry. It has a high gallic acid tannin content between 30 and 50% tannins, making it ideal for mordanting. Like many high tannin dyes, it has a pleasant, tea-like aroma. We like to use tara for gray and purple by adding iron to the dye pot. For more … Read more

Walnut Hull Powder

Walnut Hull Powder from black walnut (Juglans nigra) is a common source of brown dye throughout North America. The fleshy hulls are full of tannin, juglone and other pigments and are the primary source of the dye. Walnut hulls were used to dye hair, make inks and clothing and are also used in herbal medicine. The rich brown color develops with oxygen, so it is necessary to simmer the walnut powder for about two hours with an overnight cool down before adding the fiber. 50g of walnut hull powder will dye approximately 50-250g (2-9 ounces) of fiber to a dark … Read more

Chestnut Extract

Chestnut (Castanea sativa) is a tree native to Southern Europe. People used it historically for tanning leather in Europe and North America. On fibers, chestnut extract yields a soft yellow which is excellent for combining with other colors. In addition, it is great for overdyeing with indigo for a rich teal. The chestnut color yields a warm gray shade with the addition of iron. It is one of those subtle, aromatic dyes that combines with other colors to add an intriguing “pop” to your color palette. 100g of chestnut extract will dye approximately 400g (12 oz) of fiber to a … Read more

Kuchinashi (Gardenia Pods) Japanese Dye

Kuchinashi (Gardenia Flower seed pods) Gardenia jasminoides Gardenia seed pods create a rich, vibrant yellow that sings. The pods have been crushed for easy use and are equally brilliant as a bundle or immersion dye color. The soaked seeds get a little thick and gummy, so use enough water so they are easy to strain. Use at 50-100% wof. Kuchinashi may be used until no color is left to extract from them, or they make an amazing pop of color for bundle dyeing. Multiple extractions will yield lighter dye baths. The residue may be composted after use. Sold in 50 … Read more

Cream of Tartar

Cream of Tartar (COT) is a white powder often used in baking to help stabilize meringue. It is a byproduct from the sediment left behind in winemaking – another use for a waste product! In natural dyeing, we use cream of tartar to acidify the dye bath to act as a color changer. It’s also used in mordanting to soften wool fibers. As well, I’ve read that it helps aluminum sulfate bind more strongly to the fibers. Depending on the dye, it will shift cochineal, madder and lac to brighter, redder colors. With madder, it will shift the hue to … Read more
