Fabric Dyeing Process
-
Scouring
Fabric is washed with pH neutral plant-based laundry liquid before Scouring . Then simmered in water to remove soluble and insoluble impurities like oils, waxes and dirt found in natural textiles.
-
Mordanting
This is the process of preparing fibers to accept colour and ensure fabric is durable and has long lasting colours. Different mordants are used on cellulose fibers (cotton, linen) to that of protein or animal fibers (silk, wool).
-
Bundle Dyeing
A natural dyeing method which creates botanical prints from flowers, petals, leaves, herbs & vegetables. Extract dyes can also be used in bundle dying. Bundle dyes are often steamed or put in plastic bag and left to naturally develop.
-
Big Reveal
Unwrapping the bundle and plant materials is the most exciting stage. Bundle dyeing is completely unpredictable, which is where the beauty lies . Washing, drying and ironing will set the colour and reveal the final design created.
