Tannin + Alum Mordanted Sashiko Thread Bundle

Description

Tannin + Alum Mordanted Sashiko Thread Bundle

We are now offering our popular PFD sashiko threads mordanted in three different, beautiful tannin shades.  Each bundle of 10 skeins is one tannin color that is also mordanted in aluminum potassium sulfate.  This is an easy mordant option to create gradations and nuanced color in your stitching and dye work.

The three mordant options are

• Gallo Tannin (Oak galls), known as a “clear” tannin with a creamy coloration that imparts virtually no shade differences from regular alum mordants.
• Sumac Tannin, imparts a subtle, soft yellow undertone to many colors, and shifts light indigo to a pale teal shade.
• Cutch Tannin, imparts a medium, rich brown undertone to colors and deepens some shades, while creating a surprising neutral blue-gray when overdyed with light indigo.

These skeins are perfect for creating your own sashiko thread palette from natural dyes.

You will receive one loosely twisted skein that contains 10 smaller skeins.  Each small skein has one cross tie. The skeins are mordanted and ready for dye.  Note, if you wish to dye several colors from one bundle, simply undo the large cross tie and carefully separate the individual skeins from each other.
