Welcome to the World of Natural Dye!

The NATURAL DYE :: COLOR SHIFT KIT is a perfect place to begin exploring the gorgeous color of Natural Dye.
It's a place where Science, Math and Art intersect. And it's truly a space of limitless exploration and experimentation.

This kit includes an Instruction Booklet that will walk you through the process of using Natural Dyes & Mordants (otherwise known as Fixatives/Fixers) safely, efficiently and with care.
It will give you the opportunity to dye not just one color, but to shift one color into multiple hues with a simple Post-Mordant Bath.
1 Dye = 2 Colors!

This Natural Dye Kit will take you through the processes of preparing and using:
~ Mordant to permanently fix the dye so it's wash-fast and light-fast,
~ Natural Dye to dye color into your fiber,
~ & Post-Mordant to shift the color derived from dyeing into other hues.

This kit is perfect for anyone wishing to learn about the basics of Natural Dyeing. It's especially perfect for the fiber-enthusiast--think knitters, crocheters, sewers, weavers, and more. Anyone working with yarn/thread/fabric/textiles has wondered what it'd be like to dye their own items to get that perfect shade or hue. The kit is equally fun for artists + crafters, designers + decor-lovers, science-math-geeks, teens, (older) kids + homeschoolers (with adult supervision) & home-chefs who've wondered about the process of cooking up color.

This kit contains everything needed to get started. It includes plenty of dye samples of different fiber types, both yarn and fabric, to explore the varying results. When finished experimenting with the included samples, there will be plenty of mordants and dye left for you to play with dyeing your own item(s) (the dye will continue, but will gradually fade into lighter tones).

KIT INCLUDES:
--------------------
* YOUR CHOICE: 1 pack of Natural Dye
Choose from: Cochineal (* Fair Trade, Organic) OR Cutch (* Vegan) OR Osage (* Vegan, Wildcrafted in USA)
* 1 pack of Pre-Mordant - Alum
* 1 pack of Post-Mordant - Iron
* Set of 3 Different Fabric Samples
* Set of 4 Different Fiber Samples
* Instructions Booklet

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
--------------------------------
* An Apron or Old Clothes / Gloves
* A Pot (preferably stainless steel or aluminum--not to be used with food afterward)
* A Stirring Tool / Tongs / Spoon (preferably wooden, stainless steel, aluminum or plastic--not to be used with food afterward)
* A Mixing Cup (paper/plastic work fine--not to be used with food afterward)
* A pH-Neutral Soap (Dawn, Washing Soda, Sodium Carbonate, Soda Ash, Sal Soda, Synthropol all work perfectly)

* COLOR NOTE: ANINI Designs is not responsible for the color you reach through this varied and multi-faceted process. Your color results will be determined by how you approach the Natural Dye process (e.g. as in, what minerals are present in the water you use, what temperatures you heat to, which mordant you use, what type of metal pot you choose to mordant and dye in, what fiber type you're dyeing, etc.).
