I have wondered how the dyes will hold up over time and with lightfastness too.<br />oxo~*~Patty Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953758102509632020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-34520493196239705192016-01-27T06:42:07.483-06:002016-01-27T06:42:07.483-06:00Cool.

I've used the alum but not the rust in my limited fabric dyeing, and I love the idea of making iron/rust. You can use these nails and bit to make marks on your fabric in your eco dying too, and I am wondering, can you soak the fabric in the orange water as a dye or does it just act as a mordant? Hope you week is going well-I am off for another day at work!
