Logwood Extract

Logwood Extract brings timeless sophistication to natural dyeing with its deep, smoky purples, soft charcoals, and near-blacks. Derived from the heartwood of the Haematoxylum campechianum tree, this extract captures centuries of dyeing heritage in a clean, modern form.

Its concentrated powder delivers rich, complex tones with minimal product use — giving your textiles a sense of depth and luxury that only natural colour can achieve.

Benefits

If you love moody, elegant tones, Logwood Extract is essential. Its wide tonal range makes it a favourite for artistic projects and high-end natural dye collections. The extract dissolves easily and produces consistent, professional-quality results — allowing you to focus on creativity rather than control.

Perfect for sustainable studios aiming for bold, natural beauty.

Ideal Applications

  • Silk or wool garments needing deep, dramatic colour.
  • Shibori, tie-dye, or eco-print work requiring rich tones.
  • Blending with indigo or madder for complex, layered hues.
