What to know
Materials
chopped madder roots
Madder is a beautiful, permanent red dye from the roots of a pretty, viney, low growing herb. It has been cultivated in Europe and the Middle East for at least 5,000 years. Similar wild varieties have been used by Native Americans and in the Far East.
This is the finest quality Madder from Pakistan, organically raised in limestone alluvial soil watered by the monsoon; harvested at four years.
This is also perfect for the Natural Fermentation Indigo Vat.
Think of the red grounds in antique Oriental carpets: These are Madder colors on wool. On silk the colors tend to be more coral or orange; on cotton the colors are to the more rosy coral. The true "Turkey Red" which is the bright clear red of antique cotton quilts, was achieved on cotton through a multi step dye process.
Brick Red with alum, bright Orange with tin; Burgundy with chrome; off-Black with iron. Very fast to both washing and light as wells as acids, sweat, baby drool, etc. This is a softer red than Cochineal, Lac or Brazilwood, but is superior in fastness to all other Reds, since it is both light and wash fast.
For best reds, when dyeing cotton, Calcium in the form of chalk or Calcium Carbonate can be added to the dye bath. This binds with the Madder and enriches the color. For wool or silk, add some ammonia (clear, non-sudsing) to your dye bath. until the color of the solution is reddish rather than orangey.
