Madder Root Natural Dye

from $19.99

Shepherd Textiles Madder Root Natural Dye contains the ground roots of rubia tinctorum, the true Turkish madder. Madder was historically the most important of the natural red dyes because it can produce deeply saturated, lightfast shades of scarlet and crimson. Madder, however, is a remarkably complex root. It also contains yellow, purple, orange, and brown pigments, and dyers in Europe and Asia spent many centuries working out the best ways to extract a clear red. Our madder is an extremely potent grade that we import direct from northern India, and it contains a high proportion of the red dye alizarin. Following the tips in our dyeing guide, it will consistently produce a bright, clear scarlet color using 100% weight-of-fabric.

Before using, please read our Guide to Dyeing with Madder Root for color recipes, background, and important safety information.

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