Priced and sold by 1 or 2oz. Ground Alkanna tinctoria root. Alkanna tinctoria also known as dyer's alkanet is an herb in the borage family. The root is used as a dye and produces a red/purple dye, grays and lavenders. It has been used in the Mediterranean region since antiquity. Alkannin is soluble in alcohol, ether, vodka or oil, but is insoluble in water. This ground root powder will need to be soaked in alcohol to extract the color before being added to the dye pot. Alkanet is moderately lightfast. It is often used as a colorant for cosmetics and soaps. In a more acidic dye bath, the color will be more red/crimson, and in a more alkaline dye bath, the color will shift to more blue/purple. I found that this ground Alkanet root gave a better purple than the dried flaked Alkanet root, but after the initial dye bath the exhaust baths are mostly gray, as with the dried, flaked Alkanet root. I will include an information sheet on dyeing with Alkanet. I ship all my products as quickly as possible.
