We located these beautiful dyes in India where there is an extremely rich and ancient history in the knowledge and craftsmanship of natural dyes. They are easy to use and environmentally friendly, using an herbal mordant in place of mineral mordants considered by some to be toxic-although these can be used with our dyes as well.

If you are new to natural dyes, we recommend the Natural Dye Kit to try out. You can also check out the Natural Dye Instruction Page to see what is involved in the process as well as what other supplies you might need. These dyes work beautifully with any natural fiber yarn and are perfect for the home hobbyist or craft business. They can also be used for natural fabrics but may require a large kettle to achieve consistent color.

There are an endless variety of colors and shades that can be created with these ten easy-to-use dye powders depending on the concentration of the dye bath, the type of mordant and the type of fiber being used.
