no.4 Cream of Tartar
Mordant
250g (8.8 oz) Cream of Tartar
Cream of Tartar is commonly used as a mordant in natural dyeing practices, specifically when working with wool fibers. When used in combination with aluminum salts, it helps to create a stronger bond between the fiber and the dye molecules, resulting in more vibrant and long-lasting colors. Additionally, it can also be used to adjust the pH levels of the dye bath, which can affect the final color of the dyed wool. To use, simply add a small amount of cream of tartar to your aluminum salt mordant solution before immersing your wool fibers. It is important to note that the amount of cream of tartar used should be kept to a minimum, as too much can result in weaker dye absorption and uneven colors.
