Osage Orange Natural Dye - Raw plant matter

Osage Orange is a high-yielding natural dye made from the wood of the Maclura pomifera tree. Known for its luminous golden-yellow tones, Osage Orange produces colours that range from bright lemon to soft amber depending on mordant and concentration. Its excellent lightfastness and strong pigment output make it one of the best natural yellows available.

Benefits
