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 Colour Name
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.

Perfect Squeaky Toy for My Exes Deranged Dog
Color: Multicolor, Color: Multicolor
My ex-beau and I are still friendly and we exchange Christmas presents. This year, I wanted to make sure that his utterly nutty and completely bonkers Aussie, Diego, got a new toy so that he has added enrichment in his enclosure. Diego really enjoyed this toy! A perfect size for him and a loud squeaker, which my ex will undoubtedly appreciate being squeaked non-stop while he is trying to game with his various assortment of video game people. Worth every penny. Diego’s smiling face is proof of his delight in his adorable Slothicorn. Squeak away, Diego! Squeak away!

Worth it!
Color: Llama
Wanted to keep this for myself! Made well, size is perfect for a 90 pound pup, durable enough for a non chewer (she cleans their fur but doesn’t chew anymore). Durable enough that has been left outside during Summer storms and washed/dryed a couple times already (I use a laundry bag) and still has its adorable shape. Great value for the money, though I might need to buy another one for myself! *^_^*

Our Doodle's Fav Toy
Color: Multicolor
The first slothicorn toy that we received had a broken squeaker. We were able to quickly and easily get a replacement and send the broken one back. This is one of my pup's favorite toys, although I don't think the horn will last long-- it's the part she likes to chew on the most! At 5lbs, the toy is the same size as my Goldendoodle puppy. I think the toy is overpriced when not on sale (I got on Black Friday promo), so I would encourage waiting for a price drop before purchasing or locating another option that's affordable.

Not very durable if your dog likes to play aggressively with his toys.
Color: Shello There
My yorkie loves it. However he removed the rope tail tail on day one. Within a couple of days it came loose at the seem from chewing and he started pulling the stuffing out. I won't give back to him until I am able to mend it.
