Pomegranate - This dyestuff is high in tannin and improves the light and washfastnes of any dye with which it is mixed. Pomegranate yields soft yellows to green-yellows and requires 15-20% wof for the powder (5-8% wof for the extract) for a medium depth of shade. When combined with iron, pomegranate yields cement greys and moss greens.
It is often mixed with the more fugitive tumeric dye to brighten the yellow and make a lightfast tumeric.
