Marigold Dye Kit

A complete marigold dye kit with pre-portioned, farm-grown marigolds, mordant, and natural fibers for dyeing warm yellow and golden hues at home. Includes options for heated immersion, or solar dyeing.

This kit gives you everything you need to begin working with plant-based color at home. We harvest and dry our marigolds at peak bloom, then portion the dye material, mordant, and natural fibers so you can move straight into the fun, creative play. Each component is pre-measured for consistency, with enough extra supplies to try a few variations of your own.

You can dye using a gently heated immersion bath or prepare a slow solar that relies on time and sunlight rather than heat. The pre-scoured protein and cellulose fibers may be dyed together or separately, allowing you to explore how each responds to marigold’s warm palette. The guide walks you through setup, preparation, and each step of the process, keeping it approachable even if you’re brand new to natural dyes.

Marigold is one of the most dependable dye plants, producing a range of bright yellows and deeper golden hues. This kit is an easy entry point for beginners and a flexible palette for experienced dyers who enjoy comparing temperature, timing, and fiber differences. It offers a simple way to learn the fundamentals of natural color while leaving room for experimentation and play.
