Full description
Madder needs a long three to five years to grow before the roots are ready to be used in a dye pot. We have yet to reach this time in the Muddy House garden, so until we’re able to use our own we’ve bought the dye and added iron to our dye pot to create this soft pink.
Madder is one of the oldest known dyes and there is evidence that it was used as long as 4,000 years ago. The roots are chopped or dried and ground into a powder and it is able to produce a wide range of colours because it contains a complex group of chemical compounds.
It is a 100% carded cotton yarn, versatile with a matt finish that is ideal to use as a warp on a variety of looms including inkle and peg looms. Its smooth texture makes it easy to embroider with.
Suitable for: crochet, knitting, weaving, tapestry weaving, embroidery
– Please note this yarn was dyed in an exhaust bath so the colour is unique and non-repeatable
Care Instructions
Fibres dyed with natural dyes should be washed in a pH neutral detergent. Bright sunlight should be avoided and if washing your products are dried outside, make sure that they are in the shade.
Our dyed yarn and fabric have been prepared carefully, going through many steps and finally having a thorough final rinse. However, there may be some excess dye residue when washed. Washing by hand will prolong the life of the colour but if you would like to machine wash please use a delicate, cool wash and rinse.
