“For the blues in the main range we use indigo and in the Elizabethan embroidery thread range, woad.
Madder, Cochineal bugs, Logwood chips and Brazilwood chips are used for the pinks, reds, oranges and purples. Dried and sometimes fresh weld and fustic chips for the yellows. Oak bark, onion skins and cutch are used for browns. These traditional dyes and the resulting colors have good fastness to washing and to light, if properly cared for.”
