Burnt Velvet Plant-Based Powdered Fabric Dye
Product Description
Burnt Velvet is a plant-based, eco-friendly powder dye that gives your fabrics a deep, elegant red. Inspired by the rich tones of aged velvet, it adds a touch of refinement and lasting colour to your textiles.
Made from the leftover resin waste of Laccifer Laca, also known as Lac Resin, native to Southeast Asia, Burnt Velvet dye brings a deep, elegant red to natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, hemp, silk, wool, bamboo, and eucalyptus. Historically prized as a natural dye for royal garments, the resin carries a legacy of richness and refinement. Burnt Velvet adds bold, timeless color to sustainable crafts, handmade clothing, statement pieces, accessories, or home textiles, offering a natural red that feels both grounded in nature and sophisticated in style.
Whatever sustainable DIY project you’re working on, Burnt Velvet delivers a rich, natural red that feels timeless and traditional. Craft with Burnt Velvet to achieve a red that feels both grounded in nature and timeless in style.
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.

Top Tips
- Give fabrics space: Always allow room for textiles to move freely in the dye bath for even coverage.
- Adjust colour depth: Add more dye or increase soaking time for deeper tones. Use less dye or reduce time for lighter shades.
- Embrace uniqueness: Every fabric absorbs natural dye differently, ensuring every piece is one-of-a-kind.
