The Weld (Reseda luteola) produces the most solid yellow of natural origin. For this reason, it is an iconic plant and, along with Madder and Indigo, has been used for thousands of years in Natural Dyeing.
Each bag includes a mixture of flowers, leaves and stems. All parts should be used for dyeing.
100gr of dried plants should dye about 300gr of fiber to a bright yellow.
It can be used alone to produce the recognizable Reseda yellow, or over-dyed with indigo to produce the classic "Lincoln green". To bring out the color, we recommend alkalizing the fibers a little at the end.
