Rated 5 out of 5 — 5 verified reviews
A seductive, brilliant purple, Logwood originates from the Americas; its natural range includes Mexico, Central America, Colombia, Venezuela and the Guyanas. Logwood was known as the "spiny tree" by the Aztecs because of its thorny, contorted trunk, which they used as a weapon. Logwood is not particularly lightfast, so keep from bright sunlight. Logwood extract produces violets and purples. Over dye with persian berry (or fustic) and iron for blacks.

My First Dyeing Experience
"I purchased some naturally-dyed wool in Scotland, and a small section of one skein was undyed, creating a white zig-zag through the finished piece. As the original colorant was logwood, I was thrilled to find it with you. My goal is to correct that, so I will be over-dyeing the item to allow that bit to blend with the rest."
