RE: Natural Dyeing With Avocado Skins
For dyeing cotton you would need to pre-mordant it with alum or iron. you need about one gallon of skins to dye an item. Thank you! You simmer the pot, after soaking them for a while. You could probably just chop them up and soak them for a day or two
Ok thanks, No clue what pre mordant is?
@clara-andriessen I just did this blog post that should answer your question more thoroughly:
