Aluminum Acetate Mordant Bundle – Group & Save

Description

Aluminum acetate is a purified mordant powder that creates bright colors on plant fibers like cotton, linen, hemp, Tencel, viscose and other plant-based fibers. It is an alternative mordant to traditional tannins. Mordanting is an important step in natural dyeing as it helps improve light and wash-fastness. Its purpose is to provide a bond between the fiber and the dye molecule. Without a mordant bond, natural dye colors will fade, change color and wash out.
