information on dyeing

​

all my fabrics other than indigo are mordanted and this allows the dye to stay in the fabric. with some dyes i also pre mordant with tannin found in oak galls. both these processes use water, (some heat) and time. many dyes are fugative and will fade over time. keeping all fabrics out of the sun and using pH neutral soap will help. Even indigo fades over time and washing.
