HOW TO MAKE NATURAL DYE WITH SAPPANWOOD | ORGANIC COLOR | RED PINK PURPLE CORAL | PH | IRON WATER

Sappanwood is a natural way to create red, pink, coral & purple hues for your textile and craft projects. The wood shavings from this tree are popular in the dyer's world because of the expanded palette you can achieve through various modifications to the dye pot. A simple soak brings you a bright pinkish red, but a pH shift will invite corals & magentas to your dye studio. Join me as I explore all of these amazing colors! This tutorial will show you how to brew two dye strengths from sappanwood, shift colors through pH and iron water modifications, as well as the resulting color swatch samples (cotton & silk) with various pre-mordants.
