Pomegranate Peel Dye Powder
Botanical name: Punica granatum
Common name: Anardana,
Colorant: Ellagic acid, tannins
Dye type: Substantive dye (contains high levels of tannins, can be used with or without mordants)
Shade Range: Produces golden yellows, greens, greys, and blacks. Without a mordant, it gives a yellow-fawn color, and with alum, the yellow deepens. Iron produces mossy greens, greys, and blacks.
Mordant Requirements: Due to its high tannin content, Pomegranate peel can act as a dye without a mordant. However, using alum brightens the yellows, and iron creates darker hues like greens and blacks.
