Vegetable Glycerine (or "Glycerol") is a clear, odourless, plant-derived liquid used in textile studios for a wide range of applications, including natural dye work, printing pastes, fibre preparation and keeping materials supple and workable.

A versatile studio essential, vegetable glycerine acts as a humectant, helping to retain moisture and reduce drying in pastes, paints and mixtures. It is commonly used in textile and fibre arts where prolonged workability is needed, and may also assist in maintaining softness and flexibility in some materials.

Derived from vegetable sources, this high-purity glycerine is suitable for use in natural dyeing, textile art, surface design, printing applications, paper arts and mixed media practices.
