Royal Logwood Extract

from $29.99

Shepherd Textiles Royal Logwood Extract is made from the heartwood of haemotoxylin campechianum, the Campeche Logwood tree. Logwood contains a potent dyestuff called hematein that has a strong affinity for all natural fibers, rapidly dyeing them shades of purple, blue, and black. It dyes equally well on wool, silk, cotton, and linen, and gives deeply saturated shades. Our Royal Logwood Extract is manufactured in the USA from sustainably harvested Mexican logwood. The wood chips are steamed at high heat to extract the hematein, which comes out of the wood as fine reddish-brown crystals. The crystals are carefully collected and ground to a powder to make Royal Logwood Extract. This is the strongest, purest expression of logwood, and it is extremely potent. Use at 2% on alum-mordanted fibers for royal purple; 1% on copper-mordanted fiber for denim blue; or 4%-5% on iron-mordanted fiber for black.

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