Tannin and alum mordanted fat quarter blanks

Description

Tannin and alum mordanted fat quarter blanks.

Continuing our mordanted materials offerings, we are pleased to offer a fat quarter 4-pack, to inspire you to create incredible color combinations using pre-mordanted, organic cotton fabric.

Each bundle includes 4 fat quarters, mordanted with gallo-tannin, sumac, cutch and quebracho and aluminum sulfate.  This creates four different color bases for color explorations, and if you follow our simple instructions for creating color gradations, you can basically take your color ideas in all sorts of fun directions.

This morning, I cut up the fat quarters into 4 pieces, labeled them, and then overdyed everything in a bright yellow. Then I added a couple pieces into a light madder bath to achieve a pink shade.  The rest of the yellow pieces were overdyed with indigo to achieve a range from sea foam green to a deep blue.  The results were quick because I didn’t need to mordant, and I loved the range of teal, sea glass and rich blue I was able to achieve.

Sold in packages of 4 fat quarters, each quarter is approximately 18×22 inches.  Each fat quarter is mordanted with a different tannin and aluminum sulfate, and you get one of each in the pack.  The tannin variables are gallo-tannin (oak galls), sumac, cutch, and quebracho.
