$16.95
){kind=link}
Himalayan Rhubarb Rheum emodi is a natural dye obtained from the roots of a mountain rhubarb variety that grows in the Himalayas. It gives deep golden tones varying from yellows to yellow-reds. Use at 10-30% WOF on mordanted yarns and cloth. Simmer mordanted fibres gently for 1 hour.
Mordanting: Use alum mordant at 15% WOF for protein fibres. For cellulose, first mordant with tannin at 8% WOF, then either 1) use alum at 15% with soda ash at 2% or 2) use aluminum acetate at 8%.
