natural dye mordants

$ 10

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!

Mordants offered:

  • Alum (100g) — brightens colors for clear, colorful results
  • Iron (25g) — darkens colors; adds gray to the hue (used as a color shifter)

To determine how much Mordant you’ll need for your natural dyeing project, refer to our step-by-step brochure, which you can download here.

Once you’ve mordanted your natural fibers and/or fabrics, you can move onto the third (and final!) part of the natural dyeing process: the dyeing! Choose your favorite natural dyes HERE!
