Description
A yellow dye obtained from perennial herbs such as chamomile (Anthemis nobilis), corn chamomile (Anthemis arvensis), or dyer's chamomile (Anthemis tinctoria) that are native to Europe. Chamomile has been grown in gardens since medieval times as ground cover between stones in a walking path. The dried flowers, obtained from the plants or teabags, are used to produce a buff color on wool with an aluminum mordant and a golden color on wool with a chrome mordant.
