This is a pdf download of the 14 printed pages that I normally provide to workshop participants in a little 6 x 9 binder. The step-by-step instructions are specifically for dyeing protein fibers (wool, silk, and other fibers from animals.)
The topics covered are:
- Steps in Natural Dyeing
- Scouring
- Mordanting with Alum
- Mordanting with Rhubarb Leaves
- WOF (Weight of Fiber)
- Extracting Natural Dyes in Simmering Water
- Extracting C+ Lichens in Ammonia
- The Dye Bath
- Modifying with an Iron (Fe) Post Dip
- Notes on pH, color and fiber care
- Indigo from Plant to Vat (organic fructose & lime vat)
No frills, black and white, text only!
