Now I know why I couldn't get my hands clean for months. My grand parents used potassium per magnate (condys crystals) to stain floor boards, looks cyan to deep purple in water depending on concentration. A black dye and glue would be very informative I know older societies used powdered rock for black and hides and hoofs etc could be used for glue. Thank you Hugh and Fionia, take care and stay safe, Mike.

They shouldn't leach dye but it very much depends on what you are dying. Generally walnut dye does not need a mordant to fix the dye & make it colour fast but it is always sensible to test carefully as different materials take dye differently.

Hi there, really great video! I'm interested in naturally dyeing vegetable tanned goatskin bookbinding leather with some other colors, like Concord grape skins for blue and probably some raspberries and other plants. Would you have any general advice on this? I'm thinking I should use a mordant like alum sulphate. Would you soak the leather or just apply the dye to the leather in layers like in this video? Thanks so much!
@EnglishCountryLife
@EnglishCountryLife 3 года назад
Hi August! I would certainly use a mordant with most vegetable dyes. I've no experience of goatskin or bookbinding so can't help too much but in general terms I would dampen the leather then apply dye with a dauber. I have found that some thinner leathers need conditioning after dye to keep them supple. I would love to hear how you get on, its a fantastic project! Hugh
