EARTHUES NATURAL DYE EXTRACTS AND PLANTS
THE PURPLE DYES
Logwood Purple
A seductive, if not so very lightfast color, Logwood Purple originates from the
Americas; its natural range includes Mexico, Central America, Colombia,
Venezuela and the Guyanas. Logwood was known as the "spiny tree" by the
Aztecs because of its thorny, contorted trunk, which they used as a weapon.
The dye yields a grey lavender to blue purple.
8 oz. $31.00
Logwood Grey
Logwood grey is our mixture of logwood purple and iron to make it a lightfast
color. As the name implies, it dyes to various shades of grey to black. One of
the most interesting applications of this logwood-iron blend is to create
unexpected new color combinations when it is mixed with other extracts: olive
and mossy greens with osage, purples with cochineal, and chocolate brown with
cutch.
8 oz. 39.00
THE BLUES
Indigo - Indigofera tinctoria - Indigo is the only natural blue dye used by many
cultures in unrelated places on every continent. Each culture, each village,
each dyer has a unique way of making the magic of indigo work, and there are
rituals surrounding the success of the extraction and dye process. Stories
unfold about why this vat was successful and another failed. Our indigo is
extra-strong, finely powdered and easy to use. This particular indigo is ideal for
producing greens when overdyed with any of the yellow dyes, and you can
obtain lime green to forest depending on the dye and number of dips. We offer
two recipes - a traditional fermentation vat, and a chemically-reduced vat. We
recommend a mild alkali and thiourea dioxide to reduce the chemical vat.
8 oz. $37.50
