What Are Natural Dye Extracts?

Natural dye extracts are colour in its purest form. Sourced from plants, processed gently, and used by makers who care about what they’re creating - and how it impacts the world.

Whether you're dyeing for fun or something more meaningful, natural dyes offer a slower, more connected way to work with fabric. They bring out the beauty in every fibre, and no two results are ever quite the same.

What Exactly Is a Natural Dye Extract?

It’s simple. A natural dye extract is a powdered pigment made from a plant. Think leaves, bark, roots or seeds. Each one offers its own unique tone and energy.

At WildHue, all our dyes are made the same way: From a single, pure botanical extract. The only difference is the plant we use. For example, Ancient Clay comes from Acacia Nilotica and creates a warm, earthy red-brown.

Each colour tells its own story. You choose the tone that speaks to you.

Why Creators Choose Natural Over Synthetic

1. It’s better for you and the planet

Synthetic dyes are full of chemicals that harm waterways, workers, and even your skin. Natural dyes, on the other hand, are made from renewable plants and break down safely over time. No toxins. No microplastics.

2. Every result is unique

Natural dyeing is full of beautiful variation. Your final colour depends on the fabric, water, temperature and time. You’re not just colouring cloth - you’re creating something one of a kind.

Want a deeper tone? Use more powder. Prefer a lighter shade? Soak it for less time. Simple.

3. It’s skin-safe and gentle

Our dyes are non-toxic and kind to sensitive skin. They’re a perfect match for natural fabrics like Ethical Bedding’s eucalyptus sheets, which are breathable, silky soft and sustainably made.

One Product. Many Colours.

All WildHue powders are the same type of product - just made from different plants. That means they offer the same quality and follow the same method. The only difference is the plant source, which gives each one its unique colour.

Whatever fabric you choose, these dyes are designed to bring out its natural beauty.

Natural Dyeing Feels Different

There’s something satisfying about making colour from the earth. No harsh chemicals. No plastic packaging. Just warm water, powdered plants, and fabric that soaks it all in.

It’s a calming process. A bit messy. Always rewarding. And once you start, it’s hard to go back.
