Gardenia Seed Natural Dye

from $22.99

Shepherd Textiles Gardenia Seed Natural Dye contains the ground fruits and seeds of the cape jasmine, gardenia jasminoides. Gardenia seeds have been used for centuries as a natural dye in China, Korea, and Japan. They contain a powerful yellow pigment called crocin—the same dyestuff that gives saffron its color. Crocin has an exceptional affinity for silk, and gardenia seeds were one of the sources of the saffron-colored robes worn by Theravada monks in antiquity. Gardenia seeds also dye wool and cotton well, even without a mordant. This is a strong, easy-to-use natural dye that is perfect for both beginners advanced dyers. Our ground gardenia seeds are imported from South Korea, and give strong colors at 40% weight-of-fabric.

Before using, please read out Guide to Dyeing with Gardenia Seed for background, color recipes, and important safety information.
