About our Dyes +

ALIZARIN RED
The only synthetic dye used by Malkha, Alizarin Red is a non-toxic by-product of coal tar. It creates a truly lovely and smooth scarlet when dyed on well-prepared, properly mordanted yarn.

DARK INDIGO
To those in the business of natural dyes, indigofera tinctoria [the source of the highly prized natural indigo dye] is the true crown jewel of the Indian subcontinent. Nomadic people all over the world and American cowboys - all those who can’t bathe often - favoured indigo dye because it is a natural antiseptic! At Malkha, we think that indigo dyed in the traditional way has eye-catching and mysterious carmine undertones. Our light indigo is dipped 3 times in the fermented vats, our dark indigo is dipped 8 times.

KORA
Our unexpected evangelist. “Just” the true natural, soft, creamy colour of cotton lint - so easily lost by weaving and treatment - and one we work hard to preserve at Malkha.
