Natural dye is a way that colours fabric in a harmless way. Colours are extracted from plants to make into a bath. The fabrics are soaked or boiled in the bath for a certain amount of time to let the colours set. A fixer generally known as mordant will help the colours stay on the fabrics, prolonging its usage life. The common mordants we can use are baking soda, salt, alum and even rust from rusted iron can help to fix colours. Not all plants are suitable for natural dye. Mangrove is a good natural dye source because it contains tannin, which is already a good mordant in itself. Mangrove gives a very natural earthy brown colour that can appear darker or lighter with the influence of the ph of the water, and the intensity of sunlight. Indigo is another good plant that gives a beautiful blue, but it is not a native plant from Malaysia.
