Description

Prepare your natural fibres with confidence using our all-in-one Scouring & Mordanting Kit, designed for both cellulose fibres (cotton, linen, hemp) and protein fibres (silk). Whether you're working with fabric for eco-printing, bundle dyeing, or immersion dyeing, this kit gives you everything you need for vibrant, long-lasting results with natural dyes.

• Soda Ash (10g) – helps adjust pH or prep cellulose fibres before mordanting
• Synthrapol – a professional-grade pH-neutral detergent for effective scouring
• Detailed Instruction Booklet – with clear, beginner-friendly steps for scouring and mordanting cotton, linen, hemp, and silk
