🔬 How to Use:

The dye is typically extracted by boiling the berries, bark, or leaves in water or an alkaline solution. Once the color is released, the liquid is used as a dye bath. Mordants such as alum, iron, or copper may be added to alter or deepen the shade.

✔️ Recommended ratio:

Use approximately 100g of buckthorn per 100g of dry fiber, depending on the desired intensity. Always test on a sample before committing to a larger batch.

📌 Please note: Buckthorn berries may be mildly irritating if ingested or handled without gloves. Use protective gear when preparing dye baths.
