Hibiscus Roselle

We’re pleased to offer Hibiscus Roselle, a flower dye that’s perfect for fun projects with children. Hibiscus is the tangy red flower ingredient in Red Zinger tea and makes a beautiful color. It is sensitive to pH changes and direct sunlight so it’s probably not the best for heirloom projects but it’s an economical wash of pink, purple and red for afternoon paint parties. Our Hibiscus Roselle comes from the gleanings and final harvest for a Texas-based herb company and would otherwise be left behind or composted. We’re offering it to you in a generous size for a play-time color!

Marigolds are native to Central America but are used as temple flowers in India and used lavishly during the Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) when Mexican families celebrate their departed loved ones. Elaborate altars and memorials are festooned with flowers, special sweets and remembrances of family … Read more

Iron (ferrous sulfate)

We use iron (ferrous sulfate) as a color changer, darkening or “saddening” natural dyes on protein or cellulose fibers. It also increases lightfastness and acts as a mineral mordant for dark shades. The famous black dye recipes from the 17th and 18th century use generous amounts of iron and tannin. Iron reacts with the tannin in many dyestuffs creating colors ranging from chartreuse green to black, depending on the dye it is combined with. Our iron powder is light green and food grade. Use it either during mordanting or in a post-dye bath. Too much iron can harshen the hand … Read more
