Shepherd Textiles Cochineal Extract Natural Dye, 1 Features
-
One ounce of all-natural Peruvian cochineal extract.
-
Contains 52% carminic acid by weight, up to twice as much as raw cochineal.
-
Save time while dyeing! Dissolves easily in water, and eliminates the steps of grinding dried cochineal, simmering, and filtering the dyebath.
-
Yields a range of colors, from intense crimsons and fuchsias to lighter shades of pink and magenta (final shade will depend on fiber type and mordanting).
-
Farm-direct. Produced on same farm in the desert outside Arequipa that supplies our raw dried cochineal.
-
NOTE: We do not recommend Cochineal Extract for dyeing cotton, as it gives very pale results. To get red on cotton, we recommend using raw dried cochineal or Wild Madder Extract instead.
