Natural Dye Kit
It all begins with your ingredients. Maybe you want to upcycle some old clothes. Maybe you want to create the perfect gift. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, you’ll have all the ingredients you need inside this kit. 3 beautiful dyes, 3 mordants, and the ability to create 10+ colours.
Including:
1 x instruction booklet to show you how to use mordants, bundle-dye (eco-print), make a dye bath, and care for your fabrics
35gm x Cutch (acacia catechu) which makes shades of tan, rust or dark brown with iron
35 gm x Marigold (tagetes) which makes shades of orange and yellow or olive green with iron
35gm x Madder (rubia cordifolia) which makes shades of pink and red or dark purple with iron
10gm x Iron (ferrous sulphate) to mordant up to 1kg fibre (iron acts as a colour modifier which will allow you to achieve deep purples, greys, greens and blues from your dyes)

Our mission is to get creative and help the environment by upcycling textiles and using natural materials. So, our packaging needed to align with our values! Our dyes are packed in home compostable pouches and we have zero single use plastic in our kits. You can recycle the box and other packaging.
-
We don’t want to send you a bunch of materials with zero clue about how to use them. The Plant Guidebook will tell you everything you need to know about your materials, including how to use your mordants and what colours you can make from your dyes.
