Campeche Blue™
Shepherd Textiles Campeche Blue natural dye is made from the wood of the logwood tree, hematoxylin campechianum.

Careful control of oxidation during the extraction process has created a logwood extract that will dye rich, deep blues on all natural fibers. Campeche Blue gives good blues on wool, cotton, and silk using as little as 4% weight-of-fabric.For safety information, background, and color recipes, please see our Guide to Dyeing With Campeche Blue.
