I notice often that the tencel takes to dye the least - except with some plants. Bamboo took it somewhat better (wool and silk the best). I have been mordantly all with alum. I notice you mention using aluminum acetate for tencel -- this helps that particular fiber absorb the dye better I assume? Thanks for sharing so much on your sites....<BR/>Gail<BR/>gailmrossi@gmail.comUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09663258186761071201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35771337.post-68003044998788178812008-08-14T12:17:00.000-07:002008-08-14T12:17:00.000-07:00These are beautiful!
