Natural dyes produce an extraordinary diversity of rich and complex colours as well as unexpected results, making them very exciting to use. All those vibrant blue, green, red and yellow natural colours combine well with each other.
What are natural dyes? Animal, vegetable or mineral?
Most natural dyes come from dye plants, the best-known ones including madder, brazilwood, logwood, weld, woad and indigo. Some, such as cochineal, come from insects and other animals and a small number from mineral sources, some of which have been used since paleolithic times, including iron and copper salts.
