Reseda d'Occitania
Soluble Extract for Natural Tincture
Price range: 23,00€ through 100,00€
The soluble extract for dyeing of Reseda d'Occitana comes from the traditional cultivation and use of the Reseda luteola in the Occitania region of south-west France.
This cultivation is an integral part of the local cultural heritage, where the plant has been used for centuries to produce vibrant yellow dyes.
Handicraft techniques, handed down from generation to generation, enhance yarns such as cotton, linen, silk and wool. The plant is harvested in late summer, when the luteolin reaches its maximum concentration, producing clear, bright yellows and guaranteeing optimum colour intensity.
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.
