Natural Dye - Madder Root Powder (Rubia Tinctorum)

Wingham Wool Work

£7.35

Madder Root Powder (Rubia tinctorum) is a traditional plant-based dye known for producing rich, earthy reds with a natural warmth and depth. Made by finely grinding the roots of European madder, this classic dye has been used for centuries to colour textiles in shades ranging from vibrant red to terracotta and soft blush pink. This is the original madder — rich, authentic, and beautifully variable. Each dye bath tells a story, with subtle shifts that make every piece unique. The raw form offers creative control and organic texture that extracts can’t fully replicate. Perfect for natural textil

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as WINGHAM WOOL WORK LIMITED, number 09928953. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
