Logwood Shavings Natural Dye

from $24.95

Shepherd Textiles Logwood Natural Dye contains the chipped and shaved heartwood of haemotoxylin campechianum, the Campeche Logwood tree. Logwood contains a purple pigment called hematein which has a very strong affinity for natural fibers; it gives rich, saturated shades without too much difficulty. Logwood is most famous for the beautiful royal purples that it produces on fibers mordanted with alum, but the color changes dramatically with different mordants. Paired with copper it gives steely dark blues, and with iron it gives greys and blacks. Our logwood shavings are extremely potent, and will produce dark purples and midnight blues using just 25% weight-of-fabric on well-mordanted fiber.

Before using, please read our Guide to Dyeing with Logwood Shavings for color recipes, background, and safety information.
