The Fibrecrafts Mordant Pack contains sufficient mordant for a range of natural dyeing experiments with natural dyes on protein fibres including wool, silk, animal hair and feathers. Mordants are used to produce different colours from natural dyes and to help them bond to the fibre. It is also an excellent starter pack for exploring the craft of Botanical and Eco Printing.
The mordant pack includes 250g Alum Mordant, 50g Iron Mordant, 50g Copper Mordant, and 10g Tin Mordant, plus 100g Cream of Tartar (used to maintain a slightly acidic dye bath to help brighten colours).
See also Aluminium Lactate Mordant and Titanium Oxalate Mordant for effective mordanting on cellulose fibres including cotton, linen and viscose.
