Natural Dye Basics: Mordanting

I almost always mordant my yarn before I dye with plants, flowers or mushrooms. Mordanting your yarn before dyeing helps the dye stick to your fiber, improving color and light-fastness.

Learning how to mordant your wool fiber is a basic skill every natural dyer should learn. In this video I show you my go-to method for using alum as a mordant.
