Mordant Starter-kit
Mordant Starter-kit
This set includes 3 packs of Alum mordant, each containing 20 grams.
Alum is the most common mordant for natural dyeing. It ensures that colors bind effectively to fibers and enhances lightfastness, making your creations more durable and vibrant over time. Versatile and reliable, it can be used on its own or combined with Cream of Tartar for improved results.
One pack of 20 grams of alum is enough to mordant a larger garment or textile. A t-shirt weighs approximately 150 grams, and typically, 8–10% alum of the fabric's dry weight is used, which equals about 15 grams.
With this ingredient, you're ready to start experimenting with natural dyeing! Use what's in your kitchen or go forage in your surroundings. A must-have for anyone exploring the art of botanical colors!
