Mordanting can feel like one of the trickiest parts of natural dyeing—I still remember how overwhelmed I felt when I first started. The sheer amount of information online didn’t help either! That’s why I created this tutorial: to break it all down in a simple, clear way and guide you through the process so you can confidently create your own beautifully dyed fabrics.
I often get questions like:
- “How do you make the color stay after washing?”
- “What’s the best way to wash dyed fabric?"
- “Do you need to pre-treat the fabric before dyeing?”
This tutorial is designed to answer all these questions and more, giving you all the tools you need to create lasting, vibrant natural colors on fabric that will be both light- and washfast.
