That's great to know. Thank you x

My pleasure 😊

Hi Lyre, the main difference would be in how colourfast it is. If there is no mordanting, the colour will easily wash away or disappear. it is sad when a nice shade is achieved:(

*I use white vinegar when I make iron water to pre-treat linen. Typically just iron water without white vinegar for cotton. **I try and use dyes that contain tannins for cotton first ( avocado stones, oak bark, pine cones). They are the easiest and don’t require pre-treating really. The colour shade becomes a bit lighter but it is still colour fast. To ensure it lasts long, I pre-treat the fabric in advance.

@@tanyarobinson when you refer to "pre-treating" the cotton fabric first do you mean with a mordant or something else?

@@tiffanyzal-herwitz8745 yes, mordanting in this case. ☺️

Do you take this out to dry then use it to dye?
