The Mordant Bath.
I am lucky enough to have a large boiler that I use for these larger projects. Here is the fabric in the mordant. I used Alum and Cream of Tartar. The Cream of Tartar keeps the fabric soft during the process.
Mordanting is probably the most important part of the dyeing process. The fabric should be stirred regularly.
And the dye stuff.
Lovely and cheap.
I like to get the colour out of the dye stuff before adding the fabric.
Here you can start to see the dye stuff colouring the dye bath.
And some pictures of the fabric after dyeing.
