Two Great Kits - Tannins & Indigo
Last year Maiwa's own Sophena Kwon made a tutorial in collaboration Vancouver's Wings + Horns (now on pause). It is a simple and easy way to introduce some complex patterning and also explore the fundamental reaction of iron and tannin.
TANNIN KITS & INDIGO KITS
PERFECT FOR SUMMER PROJECTS
Everything collected in one box. Our kits are a small gathering of everything you need to focus on the mysterious and magical process of creating your own colour.
THE TANNIN, IRON & SCARF KIT
A kit to make grey naturally. Myrobolan is a tannin rich dye that reacts with ferrous sulfate to create a neutral grey. You can get different shades of grey by using anywhere between 0.5% WOF to 4% WOF ferrous sulfate. Curious about "WOF"? We've got a free tutorial on it here (courtesy the Maiwa School of Textiles).
This Kit lets you dive into the world of tannin greys. Myrobolan, pomegranate rind & gallnut are all rich in tannin that reacts with ferrou to create a number of different greys. Gallnut gives a purplish-grey, myrobolan gives a neutral stone-grey and pomegranate gives a greenish-grey. You can get different depths of grey by using between 0.5% WOF to 4% WOF ferrous sulfate. Still curious about "WOF"? We have more information in our text-based instructions over at naturaldyes.ca.
