Brazilwood natural dye gives crimsons, purples and pinks on premordanted yarns.

Difficulty Level:
Average
Time Required:
4-5 hours

Here’s How:

1. Use clean, premordanted wool or yarn.
2. Measure the Brazilwood chips (100% – 200% WOG) into a small dish.
3. Add alcohol to cover, and let stand for 2 hours.
4. Put treated Brazilwood into a nylon stocking and add into a heated dyepot for an hour.
5. Add the premordanted fibre or yarn into the dyepot and simmer for 1 hour.
6. Allow the dyepot to cool.
7. Remove the fibre or yarn from the dyepot, rinse and let dry.

Tips:

• You can re-use the Brazilwood chips in a later dyebath, though they will release less colour.
• Try alum or tin mordants for different shades of colour.
• Try ammonia or tin afterbaths.
