In The Art and Craft of Natural Dyeing, J. N. Lile

In The Art and Craft of Natural Dyeing, J. N. Liles consolidates the lore of the older dyers with his own first-hand experience. He produces both a history of natural dyes and a practical manual for using pre–synthetic era processes on all the natural fibers–cotton, linen, silk, and wool.
It's one of our top must-have books for dyers.

YOU ASKED: "I bought aluminum sulfate with the intention of mordanting cotton but I see on your blog that you don't recommend it for cellulose fibers. Will it still work, just not as well?"

KATHY ANSWERED: "aluminum sulfate was the first mordant for cellulose and you can use it for cellulose mordanting. The process is to pretreat with a tannin first, then soak in a solution of aluminum sulfate + washing soda and then dye. The results are excellent!"
Shop both alum sulfate and tannin through our bio link.

We are fortunate to receive our dried organic Pericón from an organically certified cooperative in Texas.
Its color yield is a light to deep gold and the plant is strongly aromatic of anise. You can use the entire plant in dyeing, fresh or dried.
