How to Extract Natural Dye from Whole MHRB

1. Processing: Shred or break down the whole inner root bark into smaller pieces to expand the active surface area.

2. Extraction: Submerge the bark in a non-reactive vessel (stainless steel or glass) filled with soft water. Simmer gently at a low temperature for 60 to 90 minutes.

3. Filtering: Strain out the solid bark pieces to isolate the concentrated dye bath liquid.

4. Application: Place pre-mordanted natural fabrics (wool, silk, cotton, or linen) into the warm dye liquid until the target shade is achieved.
