If new to natural dyeing, know someone who may enjoy the process and need a gift, or just need an array of colors for bundle dyeing, this pack of dyes may be for you!
I found these boxes on the street :-) and they fit my dye tins perfectly. So I put together an easier kit that you don't need special pots for. You get 3 colors, a gallnut mordant, and you can choose to add cochineal as well! Since this mordant isn't a metal you can technically be safe using in a food pot, just make sure it is stainless steal or ceramic coated. General rule is that you have designated dye pots so you are as safe as possible. But nothing in this kit is dangerous. Just make sure you wear a mask so the dust doesn't end up in your nose.
The kit comes with a digital copy of instructions (check your spam folder after order) but also a paper copy in the box.
Includes:
3oz Marigolds (yellow dyes 10-15oz fiber)
4oz Sappanwood (pink-maroon dyes 13-20oz fiber)
3oz Madder Root (pink-red dyes 3-10oz fiber)
4oz Gallnut Powder (will mordant 40oz of fiber)
Add 2 oz Cochineal! (fuchsia-red dyes 25-70oz fiber)
