Red Dyes

Recommended Posts

I've experimented with vinegaroon, and loved it, but it has me wondering if you can create any other colors.

more specifically, is there any way to create a red leather dye naturally?

Red is one of the harder colours to get naturally, cochineal is the best source

I only know this from my wool / fabric dyeing days so have no idea if it would work on leather.

But, you will probably find it way cheaper to buy red dye than to buy the insects needed for cochineal!
