💛 Myrobalan Tannin Extract Powder ~ Terminalia chebula

Highly Concentrated Natural Tannin – Mordant Assist & Soft Yellow Dye

Enhance your natural dye results with Myrobalan Tannin Extract Powder, a refined, water-soluble tannin derived from the fruit of the Terminalia chebula tree. This powerful extract is used primarily as a mordant assistant for cellulose fibers like cotton and linen, improving dye uptake, depth, and fastness. 

Key Features:

  • High-purity tannin extract – more efficient than raw powder

  • Improves colorfastness and intensity of natural dyes on plant fibers

  • Produces soft yellows or olive tones (when modified with iron)

  • Excellent for mordanting, overdyeing, eco-printing, and layered color techniques

  • Suitable for cotton, linen, hemp, and other cellulose fabrics

Dyeing & Mordanting Notes:

  • Often used as the first step in mordanting cellulose fibers

  • Pairs well with alum or aluminium acetate for rich, clear dye results

  • Reacts with iron to create olive grey and mossy greens

  • Water-soluble – no long soaking required

  • As a tannin mordant: Use 5–10% WOF

  • Dissolve in hot water, apply in a warm bath for 30–45 minutes

  • Rinse lightly or dry fabric before proceeding with mordant or dye
