Shepherd Textiles Rustic Madder Extract is a full-spectrum root extract made from the roots of Turkish madder, rubia tinctorum. In contrast to our Wild Madder Extract (in which the red pigment alizarin predominates), Rustic Madder Extract contains a broad spectrum of natural red, orange, and brown pigments like ruberythic acid and munjistin. This complex chemical profile produces warm shades of brick red with orange undertones, as well as beautiful terracotta colors and even eggplant hues when used with iron. Rustic Madder Extract gives the best results on woolen fibers — for cotton and linen, we recommend using raw madder root instead. Use at 5-8% WOF for medium reds on wool. Please see our Guide to Dyeing with Rustic Madder Extract for background, color recipes, and important safety information.
