Welcome to the Amazing World of Natural Dye!
So, you want to explore Natural Dyes...
Or, you bought/received an ANINI Designs Natural Dye Kit & need a re-fill to keep experimenting and exploring...
Or, you just want to dye (more) items and need more mordant to keep achieving lasting, permanent magical Natural Dye color?!
-- You're in the right place!
Osage can be used at .75:1 ratio to 1:1 weight for the richest color. This means that 40 grams will dye approximately 40 grams (dry weight) of fiber/fabric. It will continue to dye in lighter shades till the dye has been used up. Use less for a lighter hue of gold or yellow
COLOR - OSAGE
It dyes in a range of bright to lighter golden yellow, rich shades.
SOURCE- OSAGEOsage is a natural dye from the heartwood of the Osage Tree, a native North American plant grown in the Southern States of the United States of America.
HISTORY - OSAGE
Osage has been used in North America for many years, and yet its history is less researched than many traditional natural dyes worldwide. Osage is a strong tree, its wood being used for countless centuries to craft the best bows. It later served as a critical wood in forging the basic necessities of early settler life.
NATURAL DYE BASICS
* What can be dyed?
Natural Dyes only adhere long-term to Natural Fibers. Natural Fibers include, but are not limited to: silk, linen, cotton, flax, hemp, ramie, rayon, bamboo, wool, mohair, alpaca, cashmere, etc.
* Do I need anything else?
To ensure long-lasting color results, Mordants are a must with each of these Natural Dyes.
* COLOR NOTE: ANINI Designs is not responsible for the color you reach through this varied and multi-faceted process. Your color results will be determined by how you approach the Natural Dye process (e.g. as in, what minerals are present in the water you use, what temperatures you heat to, which mordant you use, what type of metal pot you choose to mordant and dye in, what fiber type you're dyeing, etc.).
