Hand Dyeing Heaven since 2005!

Stock update! Woad back in stock & citric acid arriving Friday

DT Craft and Design - woad natural dye extract

Woad powder

We’re pleased to announce that our hand-produced, European woad is now back in stock.

We source our woad from a small, independent producer in Europe and it is a very high quality that produces a beautiful airforce blue. You can find details here.

(Our new woad kit is also to follow soon).

Citric acid

Sourcing citric acid has been somewhat difficult of late and wholesale prices have more than doubled. However, we have new stocks arriving at the end of the week so any backorders will be fulfilled as soon as I can decant 25kg into smaller buckets for weighing and packing! You can order citric acid here.

Spread the love with a share!

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!

Love, Debbie & Pete xx
