In this blog post I want to highlight the important topic of mordanting and help you chose which mordant to use for your natural dyeing project. Mordants are essential if you are dyeing either protein or cellulose fibers with natural dyes. Therefore, I will explain in detail what a mordant actually is and how to use it. A mordant or dye fixative is a substance which is used to set dyes on fibers. It forms a coordination complex with the dye which attaches to the fiber.
