Hand Dyeing Heaven since 2005!

Natural dyestuffs

Price range: £5.90 through £7.50

Description

Our natural dyestuffs are sustainably sourced and wherever possible we buy direct from the landowners. They are 100% natural and can be used on all natural fibres.

We use alum (aluminium potassium sulphate) to mordant (fix) animal fibres and aluminium acetate to mordant plant fibres.

‘Colour modifiers’ can also be used with natural dyestuffs to extend the colour range and create amazing new shades. By carefully combining the modifiers it is possible to produce over 40 shades with madder for example! Try citric acid, sodium carbonate, copper sulphate or ferrous (iron) sulphate.

All our natural dyestuffs are supplied with a simple instruction leaflet. We also have our ‘Back to Nature’ kit – a great introductory kit to get you started!

It's Holiday Time!

Last posting dates:

We’ll be posting those stocking fillers and last-minute gifts (we’ve all been there!) for orders placed before 12.30pm on 23rd December. However, last posting date is 21st December so it may be that orders may not arrive in time for the ‘big day’. If you need a last-minute gift or you’re not sure what to get we do have gift vouchers in the shop!

Christmas holiday

As it’s Christmas we are then taking a bit of a break and the shop will be closed until 4th Jan 2026.You may still place orders (simply close this window with the ‘X’ or escape to return to the shop) but we will not start dispatching orders until 4th January.

Thank you!

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone for your support and custom this year. Your support for small businesses like ours is very much appreciated.

Last but definitely not least, we wish you all a peaceful and restful festive break and hope to be able to say thank you in person in 2026!
