Mordant -
- Alum (50g) — brightens colors for clear, colorful results - 15g alum needed for 100g skein
- Iron (25g) — darkens colors; adds gray to the hue (used as a color shifter) - 2g iron needed for 100g skein
Want both mordants? Shop them individually here!
What is a mordant and why do you need it? - Natural dyes will only make a proper bond to mordanted natural fibers. Without a mordant, most natural dyes have nothing to grip onto and will rinse out and fade quickly. After you have scoured your natural fibers and/or fabrics, it’s time to mordant!
