Color has always come from the earth. This is your invitation to go back to the source.

For thousands of years, fabric was colored through immersion. Textiles submerged in baths rich with pigment extracted from plants, roots, and bark. Slow, intentional, and endlessly surprising.

The Natural Dye Bath Kit gives you everything you need to begin that practice at home, or to go deeper if you've already taken your first steps. Four carefully selected pigments, generous quantities to experiment freely, and all the guidance to make the process your own.

What's inside your kit:

🌿 4 natural pigments: madder, turmeric, palo de campeche & black walnut. Each one extracted from a different corner of the natural world

🧂 Potassium alum mordant: in generous quantity, to prepare your fabric and fix the colors

📖 Printed instruction manual (available in English, French & Spanish) with everything you need to dye with confidence

The fabric is yours to choose: an old cotton shirt, a faded silk scarf, a piece of linen waiting for a new life. That's the beauty of natural dyeing, it transforms what already exists.

Every dye bath is unique, just like the plant it came from. So let yourself be amazed by the colors of nature.

Frequently asked questions

All natural fibers: cotton, linen, silk, and wool absorb plant-based dyes beautifully. Synthetic fabrics like polyester won't take the color, so we recommend choosing something made from natural materials.

Just a pot, water, a heat source, and cloths you want to give colors to! Everything else is inside the kit. We recommend using a dedicated pot for dyeing, one you won't use for cooking afterwards.

Each kit contains generous quantities to dye approximately 300g - 500g of dry fabric, enought for making samples and dyeing one or two medium garments.

With the potassium alum mordant included in your kit, colors are fixed and wash-resistant. Over time and with sun exposure, natural dyes may soften slightly or change color, but that gentle aging is part of their beauty.

Natural dyes can be a beautiful experience to share with children, as long as an adult is present and actively involved at all times. Children should never be left unsupervised near the stove or hot water or to handle the pot or vapor.

This kit contains natural plant-based pigments. People with sensitivities or allergies to pollen, dust or botanical ingredients should take care when handling the pigments. If in doubt, we recommend wearing gloves and a mask.

Absolutely! The kit includes a step-by-step guide designed for complete beginners. No experience needed, only curiosity!
