Weld Dried Whole Plant

from $16.00

Weld is one of the ancient dyes and along with madder root and woad, provided dyers with reliable primary colors. Weld is known for rich, lasting yellows on any natural fiber-cotton, silk, linen, or wool. Use equal parts dye stuff to fibers by weight.

Use alum mordant for clear yellow or try copper mordant for the longest lasting color. A bit of iron mordant is fine, but it will sadden into an olive green very quickly.

To obtain greens and teals, weld can be overdyed with woad or underdyed with indigo. The results are marvelous.

Weld is also used to make ink! This skill is covered in Maiwa’s Ink Making Workshop which I highly recommend as a foundational course for aspiring ink crafters.

Our weld gets to grow in the main garden and sort of wherever it wants. Volunteers from a self-sowing mother tend to be vigorous growers and are best left in place when possible. The garden hums with all the honey bees and other pollinators attracted to the profuse, fragrant weld flowers.

Dried weld is available in 2 oz, 4 oz, 8 oz, and 16 oz packages and contains flowers, leaves, and stems (and probably some stray seeds you could plant).
