Quebracho Extract
Shepherd Textiles Quebracho Extract Natural Dye is made from the heartwood of Schinopsis lorentzii, a hardwood tree native to Paraguay and Argentina. Quebracho wood is extremely hard and very rich in natural tannins, which makes it a great natural resource for tanning leather and also for dyeing fiber. Quebracho produces a series of sandy brown and soft fawn shades depending on the fiber and the mordant. With alum it gives warm sand or fawn shades; with copper a dark fawn; and with iron a sort of bark brown. It can be used with all natural fibers, although it gives the deepest shades on woollens. For detailed instructions, color recipes, and safety precautions, check out our Guide to Dyeing with Quebracho Extract.
Our Quebracho Extract is produced in France from South American timber and is certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). Use it at 10% weight-of-fabric (WOF) for warm natural browns.
