We have a bigger selection than ever before! Go back in history, dye something the way they did back in the day. Natural Dyes are usually used with a mordant to make them "stick" to the fabric and generally give more muted tones on plant fibers like cotton and rayon, but are brilliant on wools and silks. Don't assume that they are better for the environment - it depends - read about it first. **We are now buying our Cochineal (the little dried bugs) directly from a 5 family farming co-op in Peru who grows the Nopal cacti and harvests the little critters, so it is fresher, stronger, and less expensive than ever before! Organic too, as they use absolutely no chemicals.

Worked great as a demonstration
My use was probably atypical. We were recreating a fabric dyer's shop in 1st Century Bethlehem, and this was great because we could simply add the Madder to heated water and dye raw cotton cloth as a demonstration. We also displayed the dry, ground madder root to show what the dye came from. Easy, authentic, and worked great.
