  • Natural Buckthorn Dye (Rhamnus) – Premium Quality Botanical Dye

Experience the timeless elegance of Buckthorn, also known as Rhamnus, a natural dye that has been prized for centuries for its ability to produce rich, warm hues ranging from golden yellow to deep orange.


Sourced from select Rhamnus species, primarily Rhamnus cathartica (European Buckthorn), this dye is harvested responsibly and naturally dried to preserve its full pigment potential. Buckthorn is a member of the Rhamnaceae family and grows in various regions globally, including Europe, Asia, and North America.

 

✅ Key Features:

Rich Natural Color Spectrum: Produces warm yellows, oranges, and earthy tones—perfect for textiles seeking a rustic and sophisticated palette.

Excellent Lightfastness: Ensures long-lasting color that resists fading under sunlight.

Versatile Application: Suitable for dyeing cotton, wool, linen, silk, and other natural fibers.

Sustainable Harvesting: Ethically sourced with respect for local ecosystems and traditional knowledge.

Pure Botanical Origin: No synthetic additives or chemical enhancements.

 

🔬 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.
