Young Fustic Extract

from $29.95

Shepherd Textiles Young Fustic Extract is made from the wood of cotinus coggygria, a sumac species more commonly known as smoketree. Young Fustic grows widely across southern Europe and it was one of the most common yellow dyes of the Medieval era, when it widely employed both by professional dyers and domestic households to give beautiful lemon and gold shades to silks and woolens. However, Young Fustic was largely abandoned by the 1700s when more lightfast yellow dyes became easily available, and it has since fallen into obscurity. Our Young Fustic Extract makes it possible to reproduce the colors of this important but forgotten Medieval dye. It gives intense yellow-orange shades using as little as 5% weight-of-fabric, and is suitable for use on all natural fibers including wool, cotton, and silk.

For background information, color recipes, and important safety precautions, please see our Guide to Dyeing With Young Fustic Extract.
