Dye Kit

If you have always wanted to try natural dyeing but aren't sure where to start, these beginner friendly kits from The Love of Colour (based in Toronto, Ontario) make it easy to started. The materials you can use for natural dyeing are vast and varied, and these kits give you a perfect introduction into the beauty and wonder of creating colour from things found in nature. Each kit contains pre-measured ingredients and comprehensive instructions that guide you through the process, step by step.

• Indigo Kit contains: 25g indigofera tinctoria powder, extracted from the plant, 50g pickling lime (calx), 75g fructose sugar
  • This kit contains the pre-measured ingredients to create one organic fructose vat, with which you can dye quite a bit of fibre - how much a kit will dye depends on a few things, including how dark you want the blue to be, and what fibres you use. As a general ballpark, you could expect to dye several yards of a medium weight cotton such as a quilting cotton, to a medium blue, and probably more, and darker if you wish. The dye vat will remain active for 1 week.
• Natural Dye Kit contains: 90 g alum, 30g gallnut, 15g logwood, 15g osage, 15g madder, 7g cochineal
  • Included are the ingredients to dye around 4 metres of lightweight fabric, or around 600g of yarn, light to medium shades of pink, orange, yellow and purple.  In other words, you will be able to dye 1 metre each of the four colours, for a total of 4 metres.  Small garments or other items can also be used - it is up to you!
