Natural Dye - Lac Extract, Larch

Lac Extract Powder – Larch offers the same elegant crimson and violet tones as traditional lac, but in a concentrated, easy-to-use form. Made from purified lac resin, this extract delivers outstanding consistency, strong colour payoff, and clean results without sediment. The refined powder dissolves quickly and evenly, making it perfect for both studio and production dyeing. Each use yields rich, glowing reds that range from rose pink to deep burgundy, depending on mordant and fibre type.

Benefits

It’s perfect for dyers who appreciate natural reds but need the reliability of a refined product. With Lac Extract, you can achieve consistent dye lots and professional finishes every time — without the extra step of extracting raw resin.
