NATURAL DYE PLANTS, FARBEPFLANZEN , 1894 Botanical Antique Print

Click to enlarge

Dyes from natural vegetable, animal and mineral sources were once the only choices for pigment. Until 1828, if it did not come from nature, it did not exist in the dyer’s palate. With the advent of coal-tar derived dyes, and later chemically synthesized pigments, natural sources of dye gradually fell into disuse. This is a shame, as some natural sources for dye produce truly exquisite shades and for less money than purchased chemical dyes. It is very easy to grow several of the very best and most famous dye plants in your herb garden. Some are so attractive that you will want them for their flowers alone.
