SUITABILITY

Over the past year, I have noticed that many crafters use natural dye kits to dye Cotton, linen and other plant based fibres. Unknown to them, the mordanting instructions used for Wool or Silk are unsuitable for plant based fibres and often will result in pale, short lasting colours.

We have remedied that with our collection of ever growing dye kits and stand alone dye recipes. You can now choose the dye kit according to your fibre need ~ protein (wool & other animal fibres) or plant based fibres (linen, hemp, cotton)

****************************

The DYE Kit makes a lovely present too - well packaged in recyclable cardboard, the dyes come in resealable stand up bags and the recipe is printed on strong booklet paper, which can be reused again and again.

DYE COLOUR: Blue - can be overdyed with Reseda Yellow for green or Cochineal Red for Purple.

• An Indigo Vat can be kept for many months 
• A Troubleshooting Guide for the Organic Sugar Vat is available as a free download when purchasing the Organic 1-2-3 Indigo Fructose Vat.

2. Put 2 'eights' around the two tines of your fork, one 8 on top of the other.

3. Now lift the lower '8' and put it over the '8' on top, one tine at a time, pull gently on the yarn end.

4. Put another '8' around the tines of the fork and repeat step 3.

Repeat step 3 and 4 until you have the desired length.
