WHY CHOOSE

WildHue Botanical Dyes

Hear from James, our CEO and sleep specialist, on the benefits and unique properties of WildHue's natural botanical powder dyes.

Wild Hue botanical fabric dyes are effective on natural and synthetic fibres, including cotton, linen, hemp, eucalyptus silk, wool, and bamboo. Each fibre type absorbs dye differently, giving every project a unique finish:

  • Protein fibres (such as silk and wool) produce deeper, more vibrant colours.
  • Cellulosic fibres (such as cotton and linen) yield lighter, subtler tones.

These natural variations mean no two pieces will ever look exactly the same - every creation is truly one-of-a-kind, while remaining non-toxic, safe, and sustainable.
