Fine, thread-like safflower petals spill in bright orange and red‑orange tones, with flickers of yellow. Lightweight and papery to the touch, the strands curl softly at the edges and rest matte, with a gentle dry rustle. 🍂

Known across Iran and neighboring regions for centuries, safflower has been used to color cloth and paper in hues that feel sun-warmed and tender. From the same petals, makers coax two families of color — cheerful yellows and delicate pinks — through careful, simple shifts in process. 🧶

For warm yellows, gently simmer the petals and dye onto alum‑mordanted fibers. For pinks and soft corals, a mild alkaline step helps release the red component; neutralize before dyeing, where silk and other protein fibers take the shade most kindly. Reds from safflower are naturally more light‑sensitive, so test swatches and care for finished pieces away from prolonged sun. 🎨

The irregular, whole petals are easy to strain from baths and versatile for paper tinting or ink experiments. A 1 kg bundle offers generous room to explore in the studio. Store cool, dry, and away from light to protect color. A thoughtful gift for natural dye enthusiasts and educators. 🌿

🎨 Two-color potential: Extract sunny yellows or shift pH for blush pinks and corals.
🧵 Fiber-friendly: Beautiful on silk and wool; paler on cellulose — always sample first.
🌍 Respectful tradition: Used historically in Iranian and wider Asian dye practices.
🧺 Practical handling: Whole, papery petals strain cleanly and store well in a dry, dark place.
