Cocoa Drift Plant-Based Powdered Fabric Dye
Product Description
Cocoa Drift is a plant-based, eco-friendly botanical powder dye that wraps your fabrics in a rich, chocolate brown. Its warm, earthy tones bring depth and a subtle sense of luxury, perfect for sustainable textile projects, handmade clothing, and eco-conscious DIY creations.
Made from the fruit waste of the Areca Catechu tree, also known as Betel Nut Palm, Cocao Drift wraps fabrics in a rich, chocolate brown. Native to South and Southeast Asia, this plant has long been valued in traditional crafts and cultural practices, while the dye itself brings smooth, lasting color to natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, hemp, silk, wool, bamboo, and eucalyptus.
It is ideal for projects ranging from interior textiles to clothing and creative DIY pieces, Cacao Drift adds natural warmth and understated elegance to every piece. Enhance your creations with this versatile, plant-based dye for a rich, earthy finish.
WHY CHOOSE
WildHue Botanical Dyes
Hear from James, our CEO and sleep specialist, on the benefits and unique properties of WildHue's natural botanical powder dyes.
Wild Hue botanical fabric dyes are effective on natural and synthetic fibres, including cotton, linen, hemp, eucalyptus silk, wool, and bamboo. Each fibre type absorbs dye differently, giving every project a unique finish:
- Protein fibres (such as silk and wool) produce deeper, more vibrant colours.
- Cellulosic fibres (such as cotton and linen) yield lighter, subtler tones.
These natural variations mean no two pieces will ever look exactly the same - every creation is truly one-of-a-kind, while remaining non-toxic, safe, and sustainable.

Top Tips
- Give fabrics space: Always allow room for textiles to move freely in the dye bath for even coverage.
- Adjust colour depth: Add more dye or increase soaking time for deeper tones. Use less dye or reduce time for lighter shades.
- Embrace uniqueness: Every fabric absorbs natural dye differently, ensuring every piece is one-of-a-kind.
