Tin Mordant Stannous Chloride 1, 2 or 4 oz for Natural Plant Dye for Yarn Protein Dyes Earth Friendly Fiber Wool Silk Dyeing Printing

from $11.99
Priced and sold by 1, 2 or 4oz.

This is tin (stannous chloride) for use as a mordant on fibers for natural dyeing. I purchased this tin for myself from a chemical company because I found that I couldn't buy it from any of the other natural dye businesses!

I wanted to have a bit of tin on hand after reading that scarlet could be achieved by using tin as a mordant with cochineal, with a bit of cream of tartar.

TIN (stannous chloride) blooms or brightens colors, especially reds, oranges and yellows. Almost always used with cream of tartar — ½ ounce tin and 1-2 ounces of cream of tartar for a pound of wool. Simmer for an hour and rinse in soapy water before dyeing. Tin is a good additive mordant. Store wool wet or dry. Too much tin makes wool brittle. It is caustic, be sure to handle carefully and clean up thoroughly.
