Quebracho Red extract |
||
|
Quebracho grows only in the jungles of the Gran Chaco, an area along the banks of the Paraguay River. The entire tree, bark to heartwood, has a distinctive red colouration, and the wood is quite heavy and extremely hard. The name is derived from the Spanish quebrar, to break, and hacha, an axe. It is quite slow growing, and therefore is harvested selectively from tree farms that participate in reforestation efforts. Quebracho has a long history as a tanning agent and as a dye. It is most suitable for dyeing cellulose fibres, and yields a lovely peach to brown rose colour. Price: £3.20 per 25g [item code DY210] To order online please click the Add to Basket button |
