Bloodroot is a perennial plant native to eastern North America. Known for centuries for the vibrant pigments found within its rhizome. When harvested and dried, the root is ground into a fine powder that produces rich, earthy tones ranging from deep orange to rust red.
Primary Use: Natural Dyeing & Wood Staining
Bloodroot powder is a traditional choice for artisans looking for a “living” dye, colors with more depth and character than synthetic chemicals.

Versatile Applications: Specially formulated for use on natural fibers and porous materials, including:
- Textiles: Cotton, wool, and silk.
- Basketry: Reed and wood splints.
- Woodworking: Custom furniture stains and decorative finishes.
Application Instructions for Dyeing
- Mix: Stir the powder into a stainless steel pot of water.
- Heat: Simmer gently to extract the pigment. Do not bring to a rolling boil.
