Also known as woad, dyer’s woad, Jerusalem Asp, pastel (French), Waid (German), wede (Dutch).


Woad is a biennial herb in the Brassicaceae family that can grow up to 1.60 m tall. Long before the arrival of Asian indigo, it was Europe’s most important source of blue dye, cultivated widely from England and France to Germany and Central Europe. This powdered extract is made from fresh woad leaves through alkaline hydrolysis, a process similar to indigo powder production, which stabilises the pigment and makes it easy to use.

The extract provides a convenient, reliable, and concentrated form of woad colour, suitable for both beginners and experienced dyers. It can be used alone for the characteristic smoky blues of woad, or blended with indigo to achieve a wider spectrum of blue and green tones.

Historical Note
Woad has been central to European textile history for centuries. From Celtic body paints to medieval tapestries, it coloured cloth long before indigofera reached Europe via trade. The “woad trade” supported entire economies, especially in southern France, where pastel production in Toulouse became an industry of wealth and influence in the 15th–16th centuries. Even after indigo imports largely replaced it in the 17th century, woad retained importance in local traditions and remains beloved by natural dyers today for its heritage and softer tonal range.

Active Dye Components

  • Indican (precursors isatan A and B)
  • Indigotin (blue)
  • Indirubin (red-violet, contributing to woad’s softer, smoky tone compared to indigofera)

CI Natural Blue 1

Shading Tips

  • Woad alone → smoky blues, often softer and greyer than indigofera.
  • Mixed with indigo → broader spectrum of blues and greens.
  • With weld → clear, bright greens.
  • With madder → purples and violets.
  • Multiple dips build depth and permanence of colour.

its soft, warm fabric, true-to-size fit, would suggest sizing up for person with muscles to avoid too tightly of a fit.🥰

Turtle-Turtle!
Size: X-Large, Color: A-black
Fits well, wears well, and holds up well in the washer/dryer. This is a nice product and has not stretched, faded or shrank. The neck part of this turtle comes up to just under the chin (folded over) and stays snugly in place when pulled over the head. The slim fit is nice for me, but may not work with beefier bodies. Arms are not baggy but fit well. Sleeves are snug on the wrist. It keeps you warm but is not bulky. Fits nicely under sport coats, outer jackets, and warm up suit jackets. I'm very satisfied with this turtle and recommend it.
