Red Sandalwood powder - Barn Red natural dye

Red Sandalwood Powder, also known as Barn Red, is a natural dye made from the powdered wood of Pterocarpus santalinus. It produces warm rose, coral, and reddish-brown tones that bring subtle richness to textiles. While not fully soluble, its fine particles release soft, even colour when simmered gently, resulting in unique, earthy finishes with beautiful texture.

Benefits

Red Sandalwood adds warmth and character wherever it’s used. Its distinctive colour and matte texture create depth and authenticity, giving your fabrics a handmade, natural charm. It’s ideal for dyers who appreciate subtlety over intensity — producing colour that feels soft, organic, and timeless.

Ideal Applications

  • Artisan wool, silk, and linen projects.
  • Eco-printing or natural pigment blends.
  • Layering with Madder or Kamala for deep reds.
