    Thanks for your video. Can you reuse the alum acetate again? Would it need reheating or adding more alum acetate? Thanks

      You can use the AA again. I just add more according to the dry weight of what needs mordanted. Also, no heat is needed.

    So you scoure and take out tannins just to put tannins back in when mordanting?

    Do mean aluminum sulfate or aluminum acetate?

    • @benitastory8213
      @benitastory8213  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Aluminum acetate for cellulose fibers. Aluminum sulfate for protein fibers.

    I used iron in my dye and it turns very dark . Is there any remedy to shift to previous texture

    • @benitastory8213
      @benitastory8213  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm really sorry, but unfortunately, not that I know of. I learned the hard way way back in the beginning to go easy on iron. In fact, I only use 1-2% WOG when I do use it.

    Is this mostly 10% weight of fiber in each bucket and soak tannin then AA overnight for each?

      @benitastory8213  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Basically, yes.

    Very informative video.
    Please tell me if you changed gloves from when you mixed the fiber in the AA bucket and the Tannen bucket. Would it make a difference? Thank you for sharing!

      @benitastory8213  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I don't change gloves, but I can't imagine the little I have on my gloves would make a difference when you are talking 4 gallons of water. I mix the solutions with a stick that is exclusively for that chemical, but when I am removing items from the tannin to the AA pot, the items themselves would contaminate the AA pot far more than the gloves. In fact, I have found that I can add items from the tannin pot to the AA only a couple of times before I have to discard the AA pot and make a fresh one.

    Hi, loved you video, do you have another that shows what happened when you dyed the different fabric. I would love to see the results.

      Actually, all of the stove top dyes have both cotton and linen mortanted both ways in them. There are several on this channel so far with more on the way.

    Hi Bernita so it’s a regional thing!! That’s so interesting! I have heard many Americans say seconT for second so maybe it’s that which is really odd but interesting. I wonder how that came about/pronouncing the D like a T. Thanks Bernita i was hoping to get a reply from the lady herself as only she can tell me so hopefully she will. :-)

    • @benitastory8213

      That's hilarious! I never thought about how I pronounce words. I'm from an area of southern Indiana that is in a language region called the Hoosier Apex. Those living there speak a more Appalachian version of English and I had a pretty thick accent when I first moved to Indianapolis. So much so that I found it hard to get a job until I purposefully changed my accent to a more Midwestern one. I guess it's not all changed, huh? ;) I'll keep an eye out and dry to pronounce mordant properly, but don't laugh too hard when I slip up.

    May i please ask-why do you say ‘morTant’? It’s morDAnt isn't it? Great video otherwise thanks so much c

      Linda, I don’t hear the “t” in mordant you are referring to. Benita says the word the way we say it in the Midwest US.

      It's local colloquialism. Y'all understood the word yes? Go dye some fabric aye?
