Safflower petals are magical in that they contain both a yellow and an extraordinary pink dye. The yellow comes first and then you work your way to the pink. It’s an easy process but there are a good amount of steps involved. Each order includes a safflower dyeing instructional sheet. The pink color does not require a mordant or heat to create which is interesting and fun. To dye the pink color you will need soda ash (linked below in the “you might also like” section. You will also need white vinegar.
This years crop of safflower was lost to insects and weather events so this batch is imported. All of our natural dyestuffs are packaged in heat sealed envelopes to keep them fresh. For best results we recommend using them within a year.
