It's time for another Japanese Traditional Dye Hig

It's time for another Japanese Traditional Dye Highlight! Today we are talking about Japanese Mugwort (Yomogi also called Artemesia).

Mugwort or Yomogi is prized as a medicinal tea and herb and is considered a spring tonic green after a long winter. It is also a foodstuff and eaten in both sweet and savory dishes. Yomogi gives a soft yellowish green on silk. The dyestuff can be extracted multiple times. Use at 300% wof.

This week’s Mordant Monday focuses on Gallo Tann

This week’s Mordant Monday focuses on Gallo Tannin, also known as Oak Gall tannin, or Oak Galls. We used the extract made from Oak Galls in our gradation, but a similar result comes from oak galls that have been crushed or pulverized. Gallo Tannin is one of the ancient tannins with many uses, including making black ink, leather tanning, and in traditional Asian medicine. It is the most commonly used tannin when mordanting with tannin + alum, as the color it imparts is very light, and it doesn’t show a strong undertone, like sumac or walnut or other tannins with a darker base shade. Sometimes it is referred to as a “clear” tannin. In these experiments, we mordanted with Gallo Tannin and alum, then over dyed with Fustic, Madder and Iron.

Head to our Blog & Stories to read more and learn the technique.
