Madder roots / Ριζαρι 50γρ

Madder root is one of the oldest natural dyes and has been used across many generations in places like Turkey, Iran, and India. It was originally used for the crafting of exquisite carpets and wall hangings. The deep rich madder color, Turkey red, was a closely guarded secret in that region for centuries. It has since been used all over the world to dye leather, silk, wool, and cotton. The roots contain the dye compounds alizarin and purpurin, which give red, orange, and yellow pigments to the cloth when it is being used as a natural dye. To achieve different colors, like the peachy coral that Madder root is so famous for, you adjust the pH levels of the dye bath.
