Madder Root

Madder Root
Rubia tinctorum
 
Naturally dyed with madder root which dates back to use in the third millenia, the Vikings and the British Red Coats. I use both raw materials and powderd extracts to achieve these shades and color shift with creme of tarder and iron for darker and lighter tones.
