Natural dye extracts from around the World

Dye Extracts

Natural Dye extracts enable you to do your own natural dyeing, on threads, textiles, fibres, leather, wood and paper.

Have a look at some of the work done on a Natural Dye Extracts Workshop.

Renaissance Dyeing natural dye extracts:

  • Very concentrated, water-soluble, inter-mixable and simple to use.
  • Carefully selected for their dye content and ecological footprint.
  • 25-50gm for dark shades on 500g alum mordanted wool and silk, twice that for cellulose fibres.
  • Re-using the same bath will result in a succession of lighter shades.
