Madder Root Powder RUBIA CORDIFOLIA

 Madder Root Powder (Rubia cordifolia), also known as Indian Madder, offers a softer, warmer red tone than its European counterpart. Finely ground for easy use, it produces gentle coral, rose, and crimson shades that feel organic and timeless. Its natural variation makes every piece slightly unique, adding charm and authenticity to sustainable textiles.

Benefits

Indian Madder produces reds that glow with warmth and richness. Perfect for artisans who appreciate softer undertones, it gives textiles an unmistakably handcrafted quality. The dye’s natural charm and depth make it ideal for high-end, sustainable products where character and beauty matter most.

Perfect For:

  • Silk, wool, and cotton fabrics in coral and rose tones.
  • Over-dyeing to achieve burnt reds and warm rusts.
  • Natural dyeing projects emphasizing heritage and craft.
