When combined with turmeric, the dye produces yellow-red to rich maroon colors, with the final hue influenced by pH, mordants, fabric type, and the ratio of Sappan wood to turmeric used in the dye bath. Sappan wood is a sustainable resource, valued for its bright, fast-growing nature and its historical and ongoing use in natural dyeing. | ML140 |
