This extract is made from the heartwood of several related species of mulberry tree relatives that grow in the sub-tropics of south Mexico and Central America.
* update December 2008: the mill that has been making this extract for decades is now closed. MEANWHILE: we have plenty of FUSTICWOOD SHAVINGS, which are easily extracted in boiling water.
For instructions on how to use these paint dyes, please refer to How to Work With Fabric Paint Dyes.
