Himalayan Rubrub (Rhubarb) Extract

Himalayan Rubrub (Rhubarb) Extract is a gentle, plant-based dye that yields warm yellow to golden-brown shades. Extracted from rhubarb roots, it’s loved for its clarity, stability, and eco-friendly origin. The natural warmth it brings to fabric works beautifully on its own or as a base for overdyeing with indigo or madder.

Benefits

Himalayan Rubrub is the perfect dye for artisans seeking earthy, elegant tones with natural brightness. It offers outstanding lightfastness, making it a strong choice for production dyeing. When combined with iron or indigo, it creates stunning olive and greenish undertones — a signature of refined natural palettes.

Ideal Applications

  • Neutral or golden textiles with an earthy feel.
  • Over-dyeing for complex green and tan blends.
  • Sustainable, low-impact fashion and art textiles.
