Logwood Purple 25g
We are carrying a specialty-grade Rich Purple Logwood that yields a brighter, deeper, and richer purple shade, especially on wool and silk fibers.
Logwood (Haematoxylum campechianum) originates from the Yucatan region of Mexico. It is naturalized throughout Central America and parts of the Caribbean. It was also known as Palo de Campeche or Campeche wood. Like cochineal, logwood extract was one of the valuable dyes from the New World. 
Logwood yields a rich, deep purple and was once used as a base for the desirable dark purple and black colors of European fashion and aristocracy. 
 
Logwood by itself is not particularly lightfast, so keep from bright sunlight. Its lightfastness increases and the color darkens to a near black with added iron. In addition, if your water is neutral or acidic, a little soda ash in the dyebath will enrich the purple tone on wool and silk fibers.
 
Our logwood extract in powdered form is sourced from managed tree farms.
25g of rich purple logwood extract will dye approximately 500g of fibre to a beautiful dark purple shade.
