Onion Peel Extract (Allium Cepa)
Onion peel extract is made through environmentally friendly practices, using discarded onion peels as raw material. This process involves the use of water and alcohol solvents to extract flavonoids, particularly quercetin, which is responsible for the yellow colour.
The result is an extract that produces brilliant shades, varying from yellow to green, depending on the pH and concentration of the dye applied on different natural fibres.
Extracts
The powder extracts are a concentrated form of natural pigment, obtained from plants, flowers, roots, animal sources and minerals. These extracts are stable, keep for a long time and allow for precise dosing, making them ideal for those who wish to colour yarns and fabrics naturally.
Please note that the photo is for illustrative purposes only: the color of the natural extracts may differ from that shown in the shop, but the quality is always guaranteed and tested before distribution.
Doses and timing
Maeko avoids going into details concerning proportions, doses and specific times, leaving such information to those who already have experience in natural dyeing.
It is essential that those approaching this process have the freedom to experiment and adapt the techniques according to their own needs and experience.
Here we offer an extensive showcase, designed to encourage the practice of hand-dyeing and stimulate everyone's creativity.
