Mordants
Mordants combined with Natural Dyes
(supplied by Lynn Voortman - Blue Castle Fiber Arts)
Here is a list of mineral mordants widely used these days with natural dyes.
During the early times the leaves and origins of certain flowers were used. This is actually the instance nevertheless in Asia as well as other locations where conventional dyeing methods are continued.
Alum was known for hundreds of years in European countries. Alum and iron would be the most green regarding the mineral mordants while chrome, tin and copper are believed much more poisonous. Some additional chemical compounds used in combination with all-natural dyes, like cream of tartar, acetic acid and vinegar along with the plant based mordants and tannic acid are safe to utilize.
There are 2 procedures focused on the dyeing of most colours; the very first is mordanting therefore the second could be the colouring or real dyeing. The mordanting makes the stuff for the dye (mordere, to bite).
Any all-natural dye belongs to a single of two courses. Substantive, offering color directly to the material: and adjective, which includes the greater number of dyes and requires the usage a mordant to create from colour. All adjective dyes require this planning of fibre before they are going to fix by themselves onto it. The usage a mordant, though not absolutely essential, may also be a plus when making use of substantive dyes.
