Myrobalan Extract

from $19.99

Shepherd Textiles Myrobalan Extract Natural Dye is made from the fruit of terminalia chebula, a tropical tree native to South Asia. The tree's fruits and seeds are especially rich in tannins, and myrobalan has been used for centuries in India to tan cotton to prepare it for being dyed. Myrobalan fruits also dye their own color on natural fibers, a warm yellow that can deepen to a rich bronze. Myrobalan is an excellent choice for all natural fibers: because it is so rich in tannins it is a substantive dye that does not require a metal mordant, even when dyeing cotton. This is a highly concentrated extract that is much stronger than the raw ground fruits. Use at 5% weight-of-fabric for mustard and tan shades, or 10% for golden brown and bronze.

Product of India. Produced by a GOTS-certified manufacturer.
