Rich and Lasting Colors: Discover a wide spectrum of deep and lustrous colors when using our Logwood Powder. A range of wonderful colors can be produced by the "Bloodwood tree" including blue, black, purple, dusty purple, and reddish purple. For Logwood purples; mordant fabrics with alum, and make sure the bath is slightly alkaline. For deep night blues; skip the alum, and add 1% Copper Sulphate to the bath. Adding acid will shift the bath to coppery browns. With iron, a lovely gray-black can be achieved.
