Q'olle flowers, also known as Buddleja coriacea, is a variable species endemic to the High Andes. Q'olle is a small, yellow flower that is very commonly used within the Sacred Valley area of Cusco. When used to dye materials, Q'olle produces a rich yellow. These flowers are collected and dried during the months of February through April so this product is seasonal.

Our natural dyeing expert has found that this flower is very versatile and responds well to various mordants such as alum, vinegar, and soda ash or even no mordants at all making it perfect for beginners. So try it out! We think you'll not only love the color they produce but they also produce a pleasant smell, like an herbal tea. Mmmmm, tea...

We tested at 50% WOF but we think you can adjust that percentage to your liking and still yield a beautiful color.
