Eucalyptus Dye Kit
Eucalyptus Dye Kit
Get ready for a DIY dream come true. Our team carefully designed this at home dye kit to help new and experienced dyers bring the color (and lovely aroma) of locally sourced eucalyptus into your kitchen or home studio.
This kit will dye approximately 2 lbs of fiber, includes several varieties of dried eucalyptus, mineral mordants for both cellulose and protein fibers, as well as other materials to test and dye your own clothing. This kit is a great way to give new life to stained or worn textiles. The kit comes with a pdf download containing instructions for scouring, mordanting, how to bundle dye, or how to dye a solid color using the items in the kit.
We are proud to source our plants from local Amish women here in Lancaster County, Pa.

-Soda ash for pre scouring
-Aluminum Sulphate for mordanting protein fibers
