English Name: Marigold 
Botanical Name: Tagetes Erecta
Colouring Component: Lutein

Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified.

There are many varieties of marigold flower, our natural dye is made from petals of the African marigold plant.  This plant is easily recognisable by its tightly petalled flowerheads and its representation in Hindu and buddhist ceremonies and in the Mexican Day of the Dead. Marigold's flower colour varies from lemon yellow to yellow, golden yellow or orange.

And on a final note of whimsy, legend has it that if a woman walks barefoot on marigold petals, she will understand the language of birds.

Colour Imparted:

It gives a beautiful bright yellow colour through to greens.

Dyeing process:

Mordant cellulose or wool fibres with Alum 10% Weight of Fabric (WOF) for 30 mins at 80C.

Wash the fibre after mordanting.

For a medium shade, use marigold extract at 5% Weight of Fabric (WOF) and dye the fibre for 1 hour at 100C.

Then wash with non-ionic soap.

Guide:

50grams of Marigold extract is enough for 1kg Weight of Fabric (WOF) at a medium shade
