This Natural Dye Kit is a complete, beginner-friendly introduction to mordant dyeing, the most common method of dyeing with plants. Designed to take the mystery out of getting started, the kit includes everything needed to create rich, lasting color using natural materials.
Inside, you’ll find pre-measured mordants and four plant-based dyestuffs, enough to dye one yard of fabric, a ball of wool, or an adult t-shirt in each of four shades: pink, purple, orange, and yellow. The kit can be used for both solid dyeing or tie-dye techniques, offering room to experiment and explore.
Clear, detailed instructions guide absolute beginners through each step of the process, building confidence while encouraging hands-on learning and curiosity. The kit is packaged in a sturdy, recyclable kraft paper box, hand silk-screened for a graphic, giftable presentation that’s easy to display and store.
