Kusumi Lac Extract

from $29.95

Shepherd Textiles Kusumi Lac Extract is an exceptional grade of natural lac dye. It contains highly concentrated laccaic acid, a red pigment extracted from the resin secreted by lac insects. Kusumi Lac Extract will dye rich shades of burgundy and ruby red on woolen fibers and silks using as little as 3% weight-of-fabric (WOF) for a full shade. An entire range of different colors, from soft lilacs to bright scarlets, can be achieved by adjusting the mordant and the pH of the dye bath. This is an extremely potent dyestuff that is highly water-soluble and easy to apply to wool and silk, although note that lac does not perform well in hard water and it produces softer strawberry shades on cotton and linen. For background information, safety precautions, and color recipes, please check out our Guide to Dyeing With Kusumi Lac Extract.

Product of India. Produced by a GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified manufacturer.
