Lac is one of the world’s oldest known dyes, with records dating back to around 250 AD. Derived from the resinous secretions of the lac insect (Kerria lacca), lac dye was historically prized across India and Southeast Asia for its brilliant reds and purples.

Did you know? Before cochineal arrived from the Americas, lac was one of the most important sources of red dye in Asia. Its softer, muted hues distinguished it from the brighter tones of kermes and cochineal, making it highly valued in traditional silk and wool dyeing.

Unlike raw lac powder, which requires tedious vinegar extraction, our refined lac extract is pre-processed for easy use, giving you stronger, more consistent color with less effort.

Main dye compound: Laccaic acid (Lac)
CI Natural Red 25
Origin: Sustainably harvested in India

Shading Tips

  • Alum (protein fibers) → crimson to rich burgundy
  • Aluminum acetate (cellulose) → soft reds and muted purples
  • Acidic bath (vinegar, cream of tartar) → enhances bright red tones
  • Neutral pH → deeper purples
  • Iron → plums, greys, and blackened reds
  • Overdye with indigo → violet to deep aubergine

Good quality wire, but thicker than expected
Size: 100 Feet
The wire itself is great quality — sturdy and well-insulated. I bought it to wire up several COB LED lights, but the individual wires and outer sheath were a bit too thick to fit into the press connectors I was using. It’ll work perfectly for other projects, just something to keep in mind if you’re using tight-fit connectors.

Red, black, run right!
Size: 40 Feet
I got the TYUMEN 40FT 18 Gauge 2-Pin Red & Black Cable for hooking up LED strips, and it worked perfectly. The wire is sturdy, flexible, and easy to cut or connect, making installation quick and hassle-free. The 40-foot length is generous for longer runs, and the color-coded red and black makes it easy to keep track of positive and negative connections. Great for DIY electronics, lighting projects, or any small electrical hookup.
