Our madder extract will produce pale pink and peach shades all the way through a deep, wine-colored red.
Madder extract dyes to its deepest colors with an alum mordant and the addition of calcium carbonate (chalk). If you add a mild acid to your dyebath, such as Cream of Tartar, you will create a soft orange shade.
