Part used: Rind

Colour range: Buttery yellows, golden yellow, moss green, black

Mordant: none, alum for brighter yellow, copper for deep yellow.

Light fastness: very good

WOF: 10%

Cold dyeing: yes

Low Impact Method: yes

Active dye component; ellagic tannins and granatonine.

Works well with both protein and cellulose textiles.

Pomegranate rinds contain about 18% tannin and improves the light and washfastness of any dye with which it is mixed. In India and south east Asia it is used as both a dye and a mordant.

Post mordant with iron for warm cement grays and deep moss greens. Copper will give a deep golden hue to pomegranate natural dye. It is often mixed with the more fugitive turmeric dye to brighten the yellow and make it lightfast.

Soak powder for at least one hour, heat to below a boil for about an hour together with (mordanted) well wetted textiles. Let cool in the dye pot.

-Securely packed in a re-sealable zip bag for easy use and storage
